Much of the public discourse about international development focuses on recipients of aid in the so-called ‘Global South’ and their problems and needs. This module shifts your gaze in other directions. We begin by looking from recipients to donors – at the global development apparatus and the development professionals that staff development agencies; we then consider how the tidy formulations of ‘donor’ and ‘recipient’ have been upset by the recent phenomenon of the so-called ‘emerging donors’. We conclude by examining case studies of such donor countries, including Russia, China, and the so-called 'Arab donors'.
