Relations Sud-Sud Développement économique Coopération internationale |
| Résumé : |
This paper reviews the rising trend of South-South partnership and cooperation in several of its dimensions and raises issues for further debate on what this trend means for more traditional North-South relations. South-South cooperation can be considered alongside two main trends. One is the growing importance of Southern economies and their increasing connection to the world and among themselves. This is the focus of Section 2, while Section 3 addresses some of the disparities among Southern actors. The second trend is the increasing number of South-South initiatives to stimulate development, discussed in Section 4. It emerges that economic and political relations remain the predominant factor of development interaction among Southern actors. As for development partnership, it takes a wide range of forms but remains overall limited compared to traditional development cooperation. The discourse underlying the logic of interaction is however strikingly different from the one of Northern partners. Section 5 concludes with some remarks on possible consequences for the more traditional North-South relations. In particular, it is argued that a constructive North-South engagement should focus on a broad approach to development partnership, capitalizing on the experience of Southern actors, rather than a narrow agenda focused on aid cooperation, which, irrespective of its merits and know-how from Northern partners, is unlikely to generate much interest and ownership from most Southern actors, at least in at this stage. |
