Did you miss Expert Group For Aid Studies / EBA’s launch seminar on China as a global development actor: transforming the international aid landscape? Now you can watch the recording on EBA’s Youtube channel (link in comments)!
In the last decade, China has emerged as a major development partner for many countries, increasingly visible as traditional Western donors reduce or recalibrate their engagement in various regions and sectors. This shift raises important questions for Swedish and European development policy: How might China fill gaps left by traditional providers? How can development effectiveness be maintained and recipientcountry priorities respected in a multipolar aid environment? Where can Swedish aid have the greatest impact? Understanding China’s global ambitions and its evolving role as a multilateral actor is essential for grasping how it shapes international development.
This anthology situates China within this evolving terrain. It analyzes China’s approaches across health, climate and environmental governance, gender equality, trade, infrastructure, finance, agriculture, and media, with concrete examples and geographical case studies (Africa, Southeast Asia, Ukraine, and Iran).
