Summary
Introduction
This chapter focuses on the evolution of North–South or rich–poor development and development cooperation issues within global developmental and environmental governance. It explores the policy development within the UN, development banks and the trade bodies (see Section 4.2), and the OECD (see Section 4.3), culminating in the current discussions on ‘mainstreaming’ climate change into their policy processes. It identifies three critical aspects of the North–South discussion. First, it focuses on the right to development that the developing countries (DCs) have tabled since the 1960s. It shows that, despite some progress having been made, the industrialized countries (ICs) are sceptical about this right. Second, it looks at the quantitative commitment to development assistance that has continuously been on the political agenda since the 1960s. Even though the ICs continue to reiterate the quantitative target, they are unable to implement it. Third, it examines the controversial discussion on ‘new and additional’ resources in the context of the environmental debate (see Section 4.4).
This chapter then reflects on global governance regarding sustainable-development issues (see Section 4.5). It argues that governance on development and environmental issues, or sustainable-development governance, is diffuse and spread throughout the UN and OECD systems. It submits that there is increasing convergence in policy rhetoric amongst the various bodies in that they have adopted the concept of sustainable development and the ‘mainstreaming’ jargon, but there is considerable divergence in the ways in which they interpret these terms.
