The development cooperation landscape has seen significant changes at home and abroad. Domestically, the overall amendment to the Framework Act on International Development Cooperation helped pave the way for ODA programs to be managed more strategically. The 3rd Mid-term Strategy for Development Cooperation developed this year also presents the mid- to long-term directions and principles for ODA implementation. More significant changes and advances were observed on the external front. In the past ten years since joining the DAC, Korea has more than doubled its ODA volume and joined international efforts to eradicate poverty and address humanitarian crises. In exercising its responsibility as a middle power, the country has been an active participant in international discussions on development cooperation and is sharing its experience with developing countries to help them with their own development trajectory. Developing countries want to learn from Korea’s experience, as the country is a successful example of one of the world’s poorest countries joining the ranks of developed countries. Recently, requests for assistance came pouring in from developing countries to fight the COVID-19 crisis. To overcome the crisis together based on a spirit of solidarity and cooperation, Korea responded quickly by providing infection prevention supplies and test kits to the international community. Humans can overcome viruses through “the power of sharing information and staying connected,” which I like to refer to as Global Social Capital. Korea will work with the international community to fight COVID-19 and be on a better path to recovery. This White Paper presents Korea’s efforts and commitment to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that the international community is seeking to achieve by 2030. It also lays out the country’s ODA progress so far and the future ODA policy directions to support the international community overcoming COVID-19 with resilience and moving on to a new normal. This paper is a way of sharing Korea’s ODA experience of the past, present, and future with all the countries in the world, and a promise that the country will exercise responsibility in line with the expectations of the international community. Thank you. December 2020 Chair of the Committee for International Development Cooperation Prime Minister Sye-Kyun Chung 8 DAC Chair foreword celebrating Korea’s 10th anniversary of accession to the DAC The rapid transformation of Korea in the last 70 years has been a remarkable development success story. Korea’s accession to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in 1996 and to the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) in 2010 is a clear illustration of how far the country has come since the end of the Korean War. I would like to congratulate my Korean friends and colleagues on the ten year anniversary of your membership of the DAC. Korea is an active and highly valued member of the DAC. Whether on issues of aid effectiveness, conflict prevention or infrastructure development, Korean diplomats bring a unique perspective to our discussions in Paris. They help to ensure that Korea’s own successful development experience is brought to bear on the deliberations of the Committee, improving our collective impact. I am delighted that Korea’s delegate to the DAC is currently one of my Vice-Chairs. Over time, Korea has steadily increased the size of its official development assistance (ODA) budget and the quality of the aid that it delivers. Peer reviews (carried out by other members of the DAC) have praised Korea for the important global contribution it makes to the development effectiveness and inclusive growth agendas. The most recent review noted that Korea sees its role as a bridge between the developed and developing world, and praised the country for using this perspective to build particularly strong practice on issues of global citizenship, multilateral funding and humanitarian assistance. As Korea looks toward the next phase of its strategy for international development, I would encourage you to continue the positive trend of progress seen over the last decade since joining the DAC. The COVID-19 crisis means that we need to redouble our efforts to work toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and our commitment to international cooperation. While the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on developing countries are not yet fully understood, it seems clear that the consequences of both the immediate health crisis and the socioeconomic aftershocks will be severe. This means that development assistance from Korea has never been more urgently needed. Now, more than ever, we have a shared interest in confronting global challenges together, and the DAC provides an essential forum for likeminded countries to come together and agree how we can build

Nitze School of Advanced International Studies Johns Hopkins University Washington, DC I’m honoured to be speaking today at this important event sponsored by EXIM Bank - an institution that is playing a key role in promoting India’s trading relationships with partners around the world - and I would like to thank the management of EXIM for the opportunity to be here. Of course, EXIM Bank’s kind invitation to be the 2015 Commencement Speaker led me to look back at the institution’s history. I found it somewhat surprising that the institution commenced operations just 33 years ago. Perhaps the promotion of India’s international commercial relations previously hadn’t seemed so central to India’s future progress and prosperity, as it does today. Of course, it is sobering, daunting, but also amazing and energizing to realize how much has changed in just that relatively brief span since EXIM’s founding.

    OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 1/4/2019, SPi China–Africa and an Economic Transformation OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 1/4/2019, SPi Praise for the book ‘This book’s accessible up-to-date assessment on the evolving trade and invest- ment relations between China and Africa is a welcome contribution to a field that is under-studied. The asymmetry in Africa-China relations is recognised and honestly addressed, including insights into governance arrangements. Lin and Oqubay’s book is academically rigorous, and also offers immensely practical guidance to Chinese and African stakeholders on how to build this partnership going forward.’ Dr Miriam Altman, PhD, Commissioner in the South African National Planning Commission ‘This is an extremely important volume. In the chatter on China and Africa, the Chinese and Africans are the very ones often left out. The editors them- selves represent a departure from “being spoken to” by a Western world with its own distinct interests. They have assembled a set of chapters of deep insights into collaboration in specific countries and which speak to a complex situation that indicates a changed world because of China and Africa.’ Stephen Chan OBE, Professor of World Politics, SOAS University of London ‘This book comes at a critical moment in China-Africa relations, as both sides explore ways to reach their partnership potential. The 2018 FOCAC Beijing Summit launched an ambitious cooperation agenda in support of Africa’s development, as encapsulated in Agenda 2063. We also agreed to advance shared priorities on

  • Development Ideas
    Development Ideas A study in comparative capitalism Diane Colman A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of New South Wales March 2015 Abstract This thesis compares the meaning and practice of capitalist development in its two very distinct forms – manufacturing and agrarian doctrines. The comparison relies upon a particular understanding of the original idea of development which unites the spontaneous development of capitalism with intentional development strategies and emphasises two distinct frameworks, or doctrines, that development policy has taken. Both doctrines are ‘western’ in their origin, emerging from the nineteenth century industrial revolution, and both have sought to deal with circumstances in which unemployment and a resultant social disorder threaten the further development of capitalism. At this time, a manufacturing doctrine was embraced by state policy makers whose intention was to transform the negative impacts of the spontaneous process of competition through further industrialisation in general. Similarly, when changes occur in the international production of agriculture, the effects on society can be severe. Unemployment in towns and in rural areas forced state officials to construct programs for re-attaching the unemployed to vacant or under-utilised landholdings. This form of development concerns a state policy of agrarian development. The ideas and practices of development in South Korea, as an exemplar of a manufacturing doctrine of development will be compared with those of Papua New Guinea which, during the late colonial period at least, was affected by an agrarian development doctrine. The intentional development paradigm of the developmental state thesis has as its centrepiece the combined mobilisation of both public and private capacity to meet well- defined, long-term, national development goals.

Public Support for Development Cooperation in South Korea Han Na Kim* and Thomas Kalinowski** This article examines the link between public support for and public knowledge about development cooperation in South Korea. Challenging previous research on established donor countries, we find that in Korea, there is a high level of public support for development cooperation but very little knowledge about it. We argue that this can be explained by three main factors. First, Korea recently transitioned from being a recipient of development aid to being a donor. Second, Korean development cooperation is conducted as a government-centred process with limited influence from civil society. Third, the dissemination of information on development cooperation is dominated by what we call “aid propaganda”, where aid is advertised primarily as a means of improving Korea’s national prestige, while the situation in the recipient countries of the Global South is largely ignored.

  • Building G20 Outreach
    Article Building G20 Outreach: The Role of Transnational Policy Networks in Sustaining Effective and Legitimate Summitry Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/globalsummitry/article-abstract/1/2/171/2363028 by guest on 16 June 2020 Steven Slaughter School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Deakin University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia. E-mail: [email protected] G20 outreach processes, in the form of the Think 20, Labour 20, Business 20, and Civil 20, Youth 20, and Women 20, are a formal attempt by G20 leaders to engage various social sec- tors with G20 policymaking. This essay contends that G20 outreach processes are best under- stood as transnational policy networks, which are involved in widening the field of policy communication and deliberation. The importance of these transnational policy networks rest upon their role in developing and disseminating G20 policy priorities and principles; and are an attempt to enhance the legitimacy and influence of the G20 and its policy proposals. We agree that, in order to strengthen its ability to build and sustain the political consensus needed to respond to challenges, the G20 must remain efficient, transparent and accountable. To achieve this, we decide to ... pursue consis- tent and effective engagement with non-members, regional and international organisations, including the United Nations, and other actors, and we welcome their contribution to our work as appropriate. We also encourage engagement with civil society. G20 Cannes Summit Final Declaration 2011 (G20 2011) The difficulty in balancing the effectiveness and representativeness of the Group of Twenty (G20) has led to sustained questions about its legitimacy (Cooper 2010; Rudd 2011; Cooper and Pouliot 2015).

  • Emissions Trading Mechanism to Mitigate Climate Change?
    Emissions Trading Mechanism to Mitigate Climate Change? A case study in the Korean Emissions Trading Scheme focusing on the political- economic context behind the implementation and the policy design of the scheme Sejin Lee Master of Science in Human Ecology Human Ecology Division Department of Human Geography Faculty of Social Sciences Course: HEKM51 Master’s (Two Years) Thesis (30 credits) Term: Spring 2019 Supervisor: Noura Alkhalili Abstract This thesis investigates the political-economic context that underlies the Korean Emissions Trading Scheme (KETS). The idea of trading carbon as a commodity in the carbon market has been embraced by many regions to reduce carbon emissions and to mitigate climate change. The government of South Korea has started to implement the emissions trading mechanism since 2015 to curtail the national greenhouse gas emissions and to keep pursuing economic growth at the same time. However, the national emissions of South Korea have been increasing in contrast to the anticipation of the government of South Korea. The unsuccessfulness of the KETS in reducing emissions induces the enquiry into the reason of the malfunction of the scheme. In this regard, the aim of this research is to reveal the relation between the political-economic context behind the KETS and the malfunction of the scheme in emanations curtailment by focusing on the process of the implementation and the policy design, such as emissions permit allocation system and flexibilities, of the scheme. The investigation has been carried out on the basis of a critique on green capitalism and carbon commodification to critically analyze and interpret the collected data.

  • From Shadow Banking to Digital Financial Inclusion: Regulatory Framework Contestation Between China and the FSB
    From shadow banking to digital financial inclusion: Regulatory framework contestation between China and the FSB Peter Knaack Postdoctoral Research Fellow Global Economic Governance Programme Blavatnik School of Government University of Oxford [email protected] Julian Gruin Assistant Professor of Transnational Governance | University of Amsterdam ESRC Future Research Leaders Fellow | University of Warwick [email protected] Abstract China’s involvement in global financial regulatory governance in the wake of the global financial crisis has surprised many observers. While Beijing has pushed for governance reform in the international financial institutions and created alternative ones, Chinese representatives in the Financial Stability Board and the standard-setting bodies it coordinates have adopted a comparably passive stance. This paper however identifies recent signs of discontinuity in China’s accepting embrace of global financial standards. While policymakers supported the interpretation of non-bank financial services as “shadow banking” early on, they are challenging this frame half a decade later. Global regulatory bodies are reluctant to adjust the frame of shadow banking in order to incorporate developing country preferences. In response, Chinese authorities are redefining the label of its fast-growing non-bank financial sector to imbue it with regulatory legitimacy. They have promoted a shift away from shadow banking to the overlapping frames of fintech (internet finance) and financial inclusion. The interaction between Chinese and international regulators reveals the options and constraints the rising power faces in the political economy of global financial regulatory governance. Key Words financial regulation, government networks, China, shadow banking, financial inclusion Acknowledgements Research underlying this paper has been made possible with the generous support of the UK Economic and Social Research Council (Grants ES/N001982/1 and ES/L012375/1).
