Product Description:

In the 1990s, a widely shared conviction emerged among aid donors that their policies should be more coherent than in the past. The drive towards increased policy coherence came as a response to a state of policy incoherence. The shifting grounds of policy coherence in development co-operation are outlined. The policies of some selected donor countries - Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland - are scrutinised and analysed, with particular reference to the 1990s. Spotlights are also directed towards the European Union, with particular reference to the internal coherence of its development co-operation policy and the common foreign and security policy, and the coherence of EU policies and the bilateral policies of its member states. Some perspectives are highlighted in separate contributions: one analyses the coherence and incoherence of aid and trade policies, another the challenge of policy coherence in the new global order. Governance and coherence in development co-operation are also given particular focus as are coherent approaches to so-called complex emergencies, taking Belgium's policies towards the Great Lakes Region of Central Africa as the point of departure. The volume starts off with a state-of-the-art contribution by its editors.

"I warmly recommend this essential and insightful volume. The book is the first systematic and comprehensive introduction to the field...in addition to providing an accessible discussion of development aid and policy coherence, it also has a more general value. Seen as a whole, the book is a broad and wide ranging coverage of development aid in all its complexity."
