2008 Sonrası Dönemde BM ve AB’nin Çok Taraflı Kalkınma İşbirliğindeki Rolünün Karşılaştırmalı Analizi

Abstract

There has been tremendous evolution in terms of both the institutionalization as well as the
 quantitative increase in multilateral development efforts since the end of the Second World War. Yet,
 the real qualitative progress of multilateral aid channeled through international organizations (IOs)
 has always been contested throughout history. Especially after 2008 financial crisis, neoliberal norms
 of development have been challenged by decreasing fate on democracy, multilateralism as well as
 competitive alternative models of development cooperation among developing countries of the Global
 South. In this context, this paper attempts to comparatively examine the policies of two main constitutive
 IOs, the UN and the EU in multilateral development efforts in the post-2008 era. To this aim, the paper
 will scrutinize official development aid statistics data from OECD between 2011-2017 in order to assess
 whether there has been a significant change in their aid efforts. The paper concludes that UN system
 has continued to be the main actor in the development cooperation funding in 2000s. While the EU
 still maintains the status of biggest core (direct/non-restricted) donor, the UN increasingly becomes a
 non-core (sector, program and region-driven) donor of the multilateral development system. Yet, crises
 of neoliberalism in the changing world order have an impact on the role of these IOs in terms of the
 implementation of a “rule-based” development cooperation system as well the sustainability of their
 “normative” actorness.
