| 2nd Issue August 2024 Editorial With two new posts, our European Development Policy Outlook blog series is constantly growing, and we’re happy to welcome a new member! Behind the scenes, we are working on our « Decolonising Knowledge for Development » project, from which we hope to share the first stories before the end of the year, and we’re busy recording a new season of our podcast. Apart from that, our spotlight goes on ISS in the Hague today, which has an interesting call and working paper out, and we recommend a new open access book by the Institute of Development Policy in Antwerp. And, as usual, there’s more to discover below. |
| From our BlogOverseas Development Aid in Ireland – How Does it Compare to other EU Countries and What Can We Expect for the Future? »Ireland’s overseas development aid programme is, and always has been, a little different from fellow long-term EU members and neighbouring countries », writes Pieternella Pieterse in her contribution to our European Development Policy Outlook series: » As a country that was long colonised, not colonising, Ireland’s development aid programme started from a place of empathy and solidarity, with an acute sense of having experienced a population decimating famine 150 years earlier. » Read more Danish Development Cooperation Caught between Old Tropes and New Realities »All in all, Danish development cooperation is increasingly characterized by a fragmentation of priorities and interventions, covering an immense expanse of ground, and governed increasingly by both a recentralization and a growing set of projectized logics », writes Adam Moe Fejerskov. « This risks a continuous pursuit of isolated interventions as opposed to providing strategic stringency and direction for a deeper and more lasting impact » Read moreTo the blog overview Welcome to the Expert Centre on Emerging EconomiesWe are happy to announce that the Expert Centre on Emerging Economies at Maastricht School of Management (ECEE) has joined the ranks of our members!

The institute had hosted our 2021 general conference « Solidarity, Peace and Social Justice« .The call for book chapters and working paper featured below might be of special interest to our community:Call for Book ChaptersGlobal South Researchers in Development Studies: Positionality, Power and VulnerabilityThe book project aims to highlight and bridge the experiences of Global South researchers which are usually concealed or censored for the fear that they would affect academic analytical production. Read more Caring for Earth: Decoloniality and Feminisms in DialogueISS’s latest paper elaborates the concept of Earthcare as an epistemic exercise of academic interdisciplinary dialogue between decoloniality and feminism and as an ethical-political exercise of openness, deep listening and search of new understandings nurtured by the encounter with others outside academia. It defines Earthcare as a way of being and becoming in territory with/on the Earth. Read more… Highlight: Political Chronicles of the Great Lakes RegionThis open access book offers a survey of political developments in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Uganda over the course of 2023. The year has been marked by a dangerous regional extension and internationalisation of the conflict in Eastern DRC. Rwanda has again been actively supporting the M23 rebel group since late 2021, and the Rwanda Defence Force (RDF) is operating on its side in North Kivu. Burundi has intervened in support of the Congolese army FARDC, initially as part of the East African force EACRF, and then on a bilateral basis.
