“…According to Develtere et al. (2021), the landscape of development cooperation has undergone a radical transformation, evolving from its colonial origins to its current forms. The authors highlight that this institutional field, from a European perspective, has transitioned from a system of interstate transfers, influenced by political allegiances, market access, and regional stability, to a “whole‐of‐society paradigm”.…”

“…This paradigm reflects an emergent institutional pluralism in the field, characterised by the increasing involvement of new non‐state, non‐expert actors in development cooperation, each bringing new organisational principles, resources, interests, norms and practices. For example, non‐expert actors could include grassroots organisations, community‐based groups, social movements, trade unions, faith‐based organisations, and philanthro‐capitalists (Develtere et al., 2021). These actors may not have formal training or expertise in development theory or practice but contribute to development efforts through their local knowledge, mobilisation, advocacy, and resource allocation.…”

“…Transitioning towards a post‐aid era (Alonso, 2016), development cooperation underscores broader engagement, domestic and foreign policy coherence, and development effectiveness to address global sustainable development challenges (Chaturvedi et al., 2021; Gulrajani, 2022; Nilsson, Chisholm, & Giggs, 2018). This era, mirroring broader public sector trends, is marked by a shift towards hybrid governance (Denis, Ferlie, & Van Gestel, 2015), where the “whole‐of‐society” (Develtere et al., 2021, pp. 187–232) approaches in policy‐making and implementation become paramount.…”

“…187–232) approaches in policy‐making and implementation become paramount. In the development cooperation context, such a shift towards the “whole‐of‐society” approach emphasises collaborative, adaptive problem‐solving through the mobilisation of both traditional and novel resources, actors, and sectors for impactful global public policy outcomes (Brinkerhoff et al., 2018; Chaturvedi et al., 2021; Develtere et al., 2021). It underscores the increasing interconnectedness between development, global challenges, and global public goods, necessitating robust and adaptable development effectiveness principles that can bridge national and international policies (Gulrajani, 2022).…”

Institutional hybridisation in Swedish public sector development cooperation

While the concept of hybridisation (blending of different organisational forms, logics, or identities) in public administration has gained traction, its interplay with principal‐agent dynamics, especially within development cooperation, remains underexplored. Recent shifts towards the “whole‐of‐society” paradigm in Swedish development cooperation introduce complexities in the inter‐organisational dynamics between actors involved. However, our understanding of how these dynamics influence the manifestation of hybridisation in everyday practices is limited. Drawing on the development cooperation experience of Swedish national authorities and data collected from interviews, focus group discussions, and archival documents, this study identifies the interplaying dynamics of three coexisting logics (managerialist, collaborative, and developmental), and two types of hybridisation (specialisation‐centric and integration‐centric). These findings shed light on the challenges and opportunities the inter‐organisational dynamics induce for translating the “whole‐of‐society” policy paradigm into development practice and outcomes. The study's theoretical and practical implications for hybridisation in public administration and development studies are discussed.

Rethinking African-European Scientific Cooperation: The Case of the Platform for African-European Studies

African universities rely on teaching traditions and scientific theories based on Western epistemologies and ontologies. Interactions between European and African scholars too tend to focus on the deficits in African experiences, knowledge, research and teaching methodologies and the poor economic environments in which they operate that are characterized by inadequate infrastructure and budgets. This essay discusses an emerging opportunity in science diplomacy within African-European Union (EU) interactions in higher education and argues that a fundamental revision of the imbalances in African-European scholarly relationships is possible. The essay uses the case of the emerging Platform for African–European Studies, which involves 22 universities (including 14 in Africa and eight in Europe) and underscores the importance of science diplomacy, knowledge co-creation and co-production to correct hegemonic knowledge about Africa. It explores the origins of the programme, its attempt to follow a critical global and decolonized approach in addressing the revision of curricula both in Europe and in Africa and the co-design of research. It concludes by highlighting some of the obstacles to disrupting the status-quo.

The main aim of the article is to answer the research question about the efficiency of the European Union (EU) development programmes for Brazil. For the purposes of the analysis, the actual socioeconomic problems and the selected political problems of this country, related to insufficient infrastructure, unsustainable urbanisation of cities, the crisis of good governance and scant social activities to promote equality, education and health, were indicated. The analysis is limited to aid programmes, considering the financial frameworks of 2007–2013 and 2014–2020. This period is sufficient to conduct the research in the light of the emerging criticism of financial support to a country re-cognised as emerging power and one of the world’s largest economies. The analysis of this issue is also part of the current discussion on the issues of EU partnerships with the third countries, normative values and shaping the EU’s position as a political and trade partner, where the EU aims to strengthen its position and credibility as an actor in the changing geopolitical situation in the world. The conclusions indicate that the funds provided to Brazil by the European Union are mostly related to the development of urban infrastructure, adaptation and prevention of climate change, and investments in human capital. The Union runs a series of campaigns to promote gender equality, to inform about the dangers of HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis, and to support sexual health.
