The book „Development Cooperation and Emerging Powers - New Partners or Old Patterns?“ Existing global frameworks for development cooperation are heavily dominated by the experiences of industrialized countries. However, emerging economies have begun to accelerate their development cooperation with other developing countries, and attempts to bring them into existing aid models have been met with caution and reservation. This expert and topical volume explores the development cooperation policies of China, India, Brazil and South Africa and compares them with those of Mexico and Western actors. In exploring the motivation and execution of these countries' development policies, the volume analyzes how South-South cooperation has evolved, and where it differs from traditional development cooperation. This vital new collection brings together first-hand experience from a range of national experts from these countries and provides a forward-looking analysis of global frameworks and the evolution of a possible convergence of traditional and 'emerging' development actors. The joint publication „Development Cooperation and Emerging Powers“ is an outcome of the Training and Dialogue Programme 'Managing Global Governance' (MGG) of the German Ministry for Economic Co-operation and Development (BMZ) and its alumni and partner organization network.

b. Managing Global Governance Initiative
The Training and Dialogue Programme 'Managing Global Governance' (MGG) is an initiative of the German Ministry for Economic Co-operation and Development (BMZ) which is being implemented jointly by German Development Institute (DIE) and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and complemented by the two-week programme International Futures by the Federal Foreign Office.. The programme aims to connect highly qualified young professionals from currently eight Global Development Partner countries (Egypt, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Pakistan and South Africa), who work in government bodies, policy-oriented think tanks and research institutions. By offering a qualification for young researchers and government employees, the programme intends to strengthen partner countries’ capacities in shaping globalisation processes as well as supporting them with the implementation of national reform policies. At the same time the programme wants to encourage high-level networking and dialogue between Germany/Europe and the participating countries. The aim is to design stable, strategic partnerships on equal terms in order to identify common approaches for the solution of global challenges. Another important goal that has been pursued alongside the MGG is the development of the so-called 'Global Governance Research Network' (currently still on an informal basis), a long-term, strategic research network with partner countries.
