Sommario/riassunto

This book, edited by Sanae Ito, explores the evolving dynamics of development cooperation in East Asia, focusing on the innovative practices of aid donors such as South Korea, China, and Japan. It challenges the traditional North-South development assistance model, highlighting a shift towards equal partnerships and mutual benefits.



The book examines how these countries' domestic politics influence their foreign aid strategies and align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It also considers the impact of global challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change on development priorities. The work is aimed at scholars and practitioners in international development, offering insights into the political and economic factors shaping East Asian cooperation.
