From the Publisher
“As a practitioner of development policy, I have witnessed firsthand the transformational impact of Turkey’s humanitarian centered development policy which has delivered more sustainable partnerships than traditional development assistance approaches which have failed to support developing countries launch their trajectory towards sustainable development. I strongly recommend this book to students and practitioners of international development policy. It is a timely contribution to an urgent need for a major paradigm shift in development policy and practice.”
—Joshua Setipa, Managing Director for the UN Technology Bank for Least Developed Countries
“This book is a precious tool to know and to understand Turkish development cooperation. At the same time, it offers several critical reflections on how to improve the effectiveness of international cooperation as such, something very needed to deal with the immense challenges created by COVID-19. Turkey is much more than an ‘emerging donor’. This book makes my conviction of the importance of the EU-Turkey cooperation even stronger.”
—Stefano Manservisi, Former EU Director-General of International Cooperation and Development
“This book by Professor Karahan highlights the importance of global cooperation, guided by a vision of solidarity and generosity. The experiences of Turkey documented in this volume represent a model on how a country can commit experiences and resources to build a better world, in the spirit of South-South collaboration.”
—Jorge Chediek, Director of the UN Office for South-South Cooperation (UNOSSC)
