Abstract

During the 1970s, developed and developing countries entered into a series of negotiations where the latter favoured an interventionist international economic system which would be governed by United Nations resolutions. After a decade of neoliberal dominance in the 1980s, new elements such as environment and individual welfare were introduced into the development debate in the 1990s. The negotiations gradually turned into the pursuit of partnerships among multiple stakeholders. Sustainable Development Goals reintroduced basic concerns such as economic transformation into international development discourse, complementing the overwhelming importance given to individual welfare in the Millennium Development Goals of the 2000s. Turkey seems more comfortable with the cooperative approach than the confrontational one.

Argentina, for example, refused to sign, having staked a very strong anti-US position (Peterson 1964).

Although this term is not used any more, it was appropriate then.

Final Communiqué of the Asian-African conference of Bandung (24 April 1955), http://franke.uchicago.edu/Final_Communique_Bandung_1955.pdf

It was presented as a necessary act of solidarity stemming from historical ties with Algeria (part of the Ottoman Empire) and religious affinity. The sense that compassionate action is expected from Turkey, particularly by Islamic countries, and that it is Turkey’s responsibility and duty to respond, permeates the philosophy of Turkish cooperation with developing countries to this day.

The proclamation of “development decades” became almost a routine action by the UN until the Fourth Development Decade 1991–2000.

This seems to be a rather optimistic statement at that period of ferocious arms race.
