EWIS Workshop
Workshop on New Frontiers in International Development Assistance: Interdisciplinary Explorations of Financing Sustainable Development
Part of the 4th European Workshops in International Studies (EWIS)
7 – 10 June 2017, University of Cardiff, UK
Convened by Celine Tan, Associate Professor, School of Law, University of Warwick and Ambreena Manji, Professor of Law, School of Law and Politics, University of Cardiff
The adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals by the global community in 2015 marked a milestone in the landscape for international development finance. The challenge of implementing the ambitious new international development targets is shifting existing frameworks for mobilising, delivering and regulating international development flows and creating greater plurality of actors and mechanisms of cooperation in the international development sector.
This workshop seeks to engage in interdisciplinary conversations on the changing architecture of international development assistance in its historical and contemporary contexts. As a subject intimately connected with broader paradigms of power in the exercise of international relations, international economic law, foreign policy and the imperial legacy, international development finance as a field of study has traditionally been subsumed under wider disciplinary and sub-disciplinary umbrellas. This workshop aims to facilitate a broader yet more cohesive platform for discussions to address the challenges brought on by emerging frontiers in international development assistance.
This workshop is convened as part of the 4th European Workshops in International Studies (EWIS) under the auspices of the European International Studies Association (EISA).
