Ownership and Political Steering in Developing Countries

The present anthology is a mosaic of conceptual reflections and country cases on ownership in practice. The articles have been taken from speeches and debates during two conferences held in 2009 in London and Berlin. The authors discuss how partner countries do steer their development and how development cooperation can support them in these processes. In that way they provide deeper insights for practitioners and researchers on the political dimension of development cooperation. The richness of points of view - that do not pretend to form a new model or theory - corresponds with the unpredictability and openness of the topic.
