이 책은 국제개발협력에 관심을 갖는 학부생 혹은 대학원생들을 위한 책으로 국제개발협력 분야의 주요 쟁점, 행위자, 문제해결방식, 갈등과 협력의 상호작용 등을 다루어 국제개발협력 분야에 대한 일반적인 이해를 돕는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이 책은 첫째로 해외 원조가 진전되어 온 역사를 제2차 세계대전이 끝난 시점부터 살펴봄으로써 원조 공여국과 수원국의 관계를 보다 잘 이해할 수 있도록 하며, 둘째로 지난 50여 년 동안 개발원조를 실행해 온 국제사회의 공동의 노력을 평가하고 지속가능발전 어젠다가 시작된 2015년 이후 앞으로 맞게 될 도전이 무엇인지 밝히고자 한다.
보다 효과적인 방식으로 저개발국을 지원하려는 국제 사회의 노력이 많은 긍정적인 결과를 낳았지만 빈곤 퇴치 및 많은 지구적 과제를 수행하기 위해서는 아직도 극복해야 할 장애가 많이 있다. 마지막으로, 이 책은 점점더 다양한 행위자들이 개발원조에 참여하게 되고 개발의 문제가 점점더 광범한 영역의 복잡한 문제들과 연관됨에 따라 개발 원조의 범위가 점점 넓어져 왔음을 지적하며, 앞으로 저개발국을 보다 효과적으로 지원하기 위해서는 다양한 행위자들이 협력적인 네트워크를 만들고 지구적 거버넌스 체제를 구축하는 일이 중요함을 강조한다.
이 책은 영어로 쓰였는데 그 이유는 첫째, 국제개발협력이 해외에서 이루어지는 사업영역으로 핵심적 용어나 이론이 영어권에서 생겨났고 실무 역시 영어로 이루어지기 때문에 학습 역시 영어로 이루어질 때 전문성을 확보하기 용이하기 때문이다. 둘째, 특히 국제대학원과 각종 기관에 개도국 학생들이 점점더 많이 찾아오는데 한국의 발전 경험에 기반한 개발협력 모델에 대해 배우고자 해도 이들을 위한 기초 교재가 없어 이들을 위해서도 한국어보다 영어로 된 교재가 더 유용할 것이다.
따라서 이 책은 국제개발협력 분야의 다양한 행위자, 원조 형식, 국제 규범, 지속가능발전계획을 비롯한 새로운 접근 방법 등 이 분야에 입문하는 국내외 학생, 현장전문가, 정책결정자가 알아야 할 국제개발협력 분야의 가장 핵심적인 내용과 관련된 이슈별 쟁점들을 소개함으로써 이 분야의 기본 지식을 전할 뿐 아니라 비판적 사고를 기르는 데에도 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
Any students interested in understanding current international affairs are sure to encounter the issue of development assistance, which has emerged as an important global issue. With more than a billion people living on less than a dollar a day and 8 million people dying each year due to poverty and poverty-related diseases, many agree that the problem of global poverty is a moral challenge for all mankind. Over the last several decades, millions of dollars have flowed into developing countries in efforts to alleviate poverty, but the results have been disappointing. Beginning with the Marshall Plan, the United States’ initiative to resuscitate Europe following the end of World War II, humanitarian and development assistance has evolved into the primary means to eradicate global poverty. The question remains: can this profound goal be reached?
Theoretically speaking, the eradication of poverty is not an unachievable goal. Rich countries have vast resources and advanced technology at their disposal. They possess enough resources to provide aid to impoverished poor countries. Although there were fluctuations in aid flows to developing countries over the last decades, the interest in alleviating global poverty has continued to increase. More than ever before, the rich are trying to help the poor. However, despite decades of persistent efforts, global poverty continues to exist and many countries continue to suffer from a lack of food, water, proper healthcare and technology. The process of development assistance, as well as poverty eradication, is not as clear-cut as it may seem. This book tries to understand the underlying reasons and the global efforts to achieve this attainable, yet challenging, goal.
The objectives of this book are threefold. It is essential to first understand why the issues of poverty and foreign aid have emerged as a global agenda and how and why these relationships between the rich and the poor have developed. In this sense, the first step is to trace the evolution of foreign aid from its beginnings in the aftermath of World War II to better understand the historical contours of donor and recipient relationships. Second, we seek to assess global efforts made by the international community during the 50-year history of development aid and identify challenges for the Post2015 era.
The international community has improved aid practices but there are still many obstacles to achieving global goals and eradicating global poverty. Last but not least, we recognize that the boundaries of development aid have expanded to include a wide range of complex issues and practices as well as the participation by multiple actors. We also emphasize the importance of constructing a global governance framework and aid architecture that encourages cooperative networking among multiple actors for increased aid effectiveness in the future.
