North-South Co-operation

This book looks at co-operation for development: between North, South, and East; women's organizations and funding agencies; development practitioners, academics, and civil society; politicians and economists; and men and women. Currently the world is in a state of economic and political crisis, of which escalating conflict is a symptom. In this book, writers from South and North stress that such crisis can only be resolved if we recognise that we are all involved in a global system which perpetuates poverty and inequality, not only in the South and East, but also in the North. The book explores how essential it is for Northern funding agencies to foster multiculturalism and gender equality within their own structures, as well as in their work with Southern counterparts.
