APPROACHES AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ASIAN AND EUROPEAN OFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE (ODA)
Vincent ROLLET (ed.)
(Harmattan-Academia, July 2016)
Since the end of the World War II, Official Development Assistance
(ODA) represents an essential component of the international
involvement of governments and local collectivities toward
development.
This last decade, ODA had to adapt to the profound
changes which have questioned its providers. Among these donors,
European and Asian countries occupy an important place. Indeed,
the European Union (EU) and its 28 Member States represent the
world’s largest aid donor and, simultaneously, the total volume of
development cooperation from Asian providers has progressively
increased, confirming the strong interest of Asia to participate to
the global aid governance.
In such context, three main questions deserve to have our
attention: Can we observe similarities between Asian and European
ODA notably in terms of motivations, policy, budget, governance,
nature and implementation? To what extend Asian and European
ODA are different and how to explain such specificities? Are there
any possibilities of collaboration between Asian and European aid
providers?
These are the main questions that this book will set out to answer.
