Abstract
Abstract This article questions why and how the private sector was articulated as a legitimate agent in a field almost entirely dominated, until the 2000s, by DAC donors. We argue that private agents were admitted in the field across the fractures produced by SSCP and throughout a series of normative and managerial adjustments, which we called here regulated improvisations.
Highlights
During the last decade, the International Development Cooperation (IDC) field has witnessed significant changes in terms of financing and governance mechanisms
We argue that private agents were admitted in the field across the fractures produced by South-South Cooperation Partners (SSCP) and throughout a series of normative and managerial adjustments, which we called here regulated improvisations
Considering other South-South Cooperation Partners (SSCP) like Arab countries, China, India, Brazil, Mexico and South Africa, the OECD estimates that the total amount of external assistance reaches US$ 161 billion in 2016 (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2018)
