International Development Planning Pedagogy for a Changing Global Landscape
The Global Governance of Sanitation
The promise of South-South Cooperation (SSC) as a powerful alternative development paradigm to the historically more hostile North-South development model is eliciting serious attention in scholarly research and in advocacy networks. Perhaps ironically, SSC initiatives are also securing substantial financial support and leveraging the communication platforms of traditional international development institutions and development finance power brokers. While much is claimed by both champions and skeptics of this re-energized, diversified, and decentralized network of South-South action in the 21st century, much is also missing in terms of empirical studies examining precisely how SSC compares with other forms of international cooperation at the project level and what special value, if any, SSC projects can lay claim upon in the development arena. This project speaks to this knowledge gap through a detailed examination of different international cooperation typologies extant in the sanitation sector in the Mozambican capital, Maputo. Particular attention therein is focused on how different international cooperation typologies map with different typologies of knowledge and learning, as well as how the density of cooperation actors (or 'thick cooperation') is shaping the scope, quality, and accessibility of sanitation services in Maputo.
International Development Planning Pedagogy for a Changing Global Landscape
International development planning has gone through profound changes in the past 50 years, and along with it pedagogical experiments with different modes of instruction and multidisciplinary reframing (and challenging) of development objectives. Diverse student interests, shifting terrains in academic institutions, and field-based demands for a new paradigm of ‘international’ planning expertise are only some of the drivers of this recent transformation. How in particular are field-based demands and the combined realities of field-based classes and limited training times shaping what international planning pedagogy can and should address, and how? How have power shifts in international institutions been reflected (or not) in the educational partnerships built across borders?
