Abstract

This chapter analyses the rising salience of the international development agenda within British politics. The findings suggest that the ‘promotion of international development’ became a British/national agenda. By the 2010 election, all major political parties (Labour, Conservatives and Liberal Democrats) promised to reach the UN target of 0.7 per cent of Gross National Income (GNI) for international aid. The chapter examines the election manifestos between 1992 and 2019 for all major political parties, the post Brexit referendum rhetoric and actions in relation to the international development agenda. Regardless of the bi-partisan agreement of the prominence of the international development agenda, differences of approach to aid budget spending are vividly partisan. This includes the level of independence of the department of international development (DFID) in managing the aid budget. The chapter examines and predicts possible implications of Brexit on the international development agenda.
