Abstract
AbstractThis chapter outlines the history of international development cooperation in relation to efforts to promote Southern leadership, and establishes the importance of destabilizing the import of “Southern” labels for distinguishing among types of cooperation and their role in development. In this spirit, the chapter introduces the book’s core aim: to dissect how development cooperation projects in the “South” actually land—and what makes them work. In doing so, the chapter bridges debates on international development with scholarship on Southern urbanisms and urban planning to examine the everyday relational dynamics of cooperation projects and their material consequences at the scale of the city, particularly in the water and sanitation sector. This exploration unfolds in Maputo, Mozambique’s capital city, where the blurred lines of colonial legacies and modernizing ambitions configure the opportunities and challenges of development cooperation.
