This article explains changes in strategic stability through a path dependence framework, discussing its antecedent conditions, increasing returns, cleavages, critical junctures, reactive sequences, and legacy. We identify the leading causes of its formation, reproduction, modification, and, eventually, its end. Such an analysis is relevant as far as we observe significant changes in cornerstone’s aspects of strategic stability after the abrogation of the ABM Treaty and the INF Treaty. We argue that strategic stability as an institution passes through radical modifications produced by reactive sequences breaking the causal loop that allowed its reproduction since its formation.

The field of International Development Cooperation (IDC) has undergone a structural transformation since 2010. International agreements such as the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Paris Agreement and the Addis Ababa Agenda for Action had profound impacts upon the IDC field to the point that many of its elements lost relevance (Orliange 2020). While in 2015, internationally agreed goals established the most ambitious development agenda ever adopted, the political will needed for its implementation collapsed in 2016, with the rise of far-right governments in key countries like the UK and USA (Zoccal, in this issue). Moreover, there is a clear mismatch between goals and the means of implementation, due to a conspicuous disconnection between narratives, strategies and instruments, according to Klingebiel and Gonsior, in this issue. The lasting crisis of Official Development Assistance (ODA) is at the center of the disentanglement between development goals and IDC. During the last decade “development assistance” was pronounced dead many times by analysts in different positions within the international development cooperation field (Janus et al. 2015). Practitioners like Jean-Michel Severino and Olivier Ray, from the Agence Française de Développement (AFD), announced the end of ODA due to its relatively little success in fostering economic convergence and the emergence of new challenges, such as the provision of global public goods related to climate change, food security and public health, to name a few (Severino and Ray 2009). Furthermore, analysts like Andrew Rogers and Homi Kharas, from the Overseas Development Institute, acknowledged that the Paulo Esteves1 1Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro, Institute of International Relations, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil (esteves_paulo@puc-rio.br).
自2010年以来,国际发展合作领域经历了结构性转型。联合国(UN) 2030年可持续发展议程、《巴黎协定》和《亚的斯亚贝巴行动议程》等国际协议对IDC领域产生了深远的影响,以至于其许多要素失去了相关性(Orliange 2020)。2015年,国际商定的目标确立了有史以来最雄心勃勃的发展议程,但2016年,随着英国和美国等关键国家极右翼政府的崛起,实施该议程所需的政治意愿崩溃。此外,Klingebiel和Gonsior在本期中指出,由于叙事、策略和工具之间的明显脱节,目标与实施手段之间存在明显的不匹配。官方发展援助(ODA)的持续危机是发展目标与国际发展援助之间纠缠不清的核心问题。在过去十年中,国际发展合作领域不同职位的分析师多次宣布“发展援助”已死(Janus et al. 2015)。来自法国农业发展机构(AFD)的让-米歇尔·塞韦里诺(Jean-Michel Severino)和奥利维尔·雷(Olivier Ray)等从业者宣布终止官方发展援助,因为官方发展援助在促进经济趋同方面取得的成功相对较少,并出现了新的挑战,例如提供与气候变化、粮食安全和公共卫生有关的全球公共产品(Severino and Ray, 2009)。此外,海外发展研究所的安德鲁·罗杰斯(Andrew Rogers)和霍米·哈拉斯(Homi Kharas)等分析人士承认,巴西里约热内卢国际关系研究所Paulo Esteves1 1Pontifícia Universidade Católica do里约热内卢de Janeiro (esteves_paulo@puc-rio.br)。

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is clearly aimed at international development, and designed to jointly build a regional economic cooperation framework that is open, inclusive and balanced. Financial integration is the cornerstone of the BRI, and development finance is the most widely used mode of cooperation in financing. Development finance with Chinese characteristics is concessional and development-oriented, differing from Official Development Finance (ODF) defined by the OECD. Based on its development experiences, China applies development finance with Chinese characteristics to the BRI projects. This benefits countries along the Belt and Road by facilitating their sustainable development.

This paper aims to analyze the Chinese cooperation with developing countries, its purposes, shapes and intentions in order to explore the peculiar characteristics of Chinese SSC. This work seeks to analyze whether the cooperation carried out by China with countries of the Global South fits the principles of South-South cooperation and if and how China is modifying the international aid regime.

The adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals, The Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda laid the foundations of a new system of international development cooperation in which middle income countries are playing an increasingly important role, National Development Banks are becoming key players although broadly consensual regulatory framework are still insufficient.

The field of International Relations (IR) is barely ‘international’. Scholars have voiced their concerns and as a result, we have witnessed calls for diversity and inclusion in IR, be it in publication or in syllabi. Notwithstanding, the misrepresentation of non-Western scholars in the production of knowledge is significant. This article sheds light on the dynamics of publishing from a non-Western perspective and reinforces Post-Colonial epistemological critiques in IR. Based on the latest dataset from the International Studies Association (ISA)’s journals, this article argues that the current setting of IR journals is not suited for and receptive of non-Western scholars and epistemologies.
