"Coopérer aujourd'hui" Serie
The Scientific Directorate's Working Documents

The "working documents" series was created in 1999. Since early 2001 and issue no. 30, the series has been renamed "Coopérer aujourd'hui" (development cooperation today).
Published by GRET's Scientific Directorate, this series seeks to contribute to renewing strategic and methodological reflections on development action and development aid practices based on critical reflection on practices. Based principally on the work and activities undertaken within GRET, it also welcomes outside contributions.

Coopérer aujourd'hui Outlook

The world is changing along with the ways of working in the field of development cooperation. Around the world, associative effervescence, economic liberalisation, and administrative decentralisation are renewing the institutional landscape. The legitimate claims of citizens for more power over their living conditions leads to the invention of original linkages between participatory democracy and electoral democracy. To break down exclusion-producing schemas and ensure fair access to services and economic opportunities, new ways of coordinating the State, market and civil society need to be created and consolidated in institutions and laws.
The legitimacy of international solidarity activities is to contribute to this along side local stakeholders involved in such processes.
However, the aid system all too often favours fads, issues imposed from the outside, and ready-made solutions. Working in development cooperation today implies being in phase with local social, political and institutional dynamics and being more demanding in terms of quality and long-term effectiveness.
The ambition behind this series is to contribute to conceptual and methodological renewal for development interventions and international development aid.
