The silk route to New York and Paris", South-South cooperation in the year 2015

Master thesis | International Relations (MA)

By answering the following research question the focus in this thesis will be on the role and influence of the UN on SSC through the use of conferences, particularly the SDG summit and the associated Financing for Development conference; In what ways does the United Nations Development System create new incentives for South-South cooperation through the SDG summit and Addis Ababa Action Agenda? Could these conferences provide a new global framework for financing sustainable development and a comprehensive set of policy actions through SouthSouth cooperation? By researching the post-2015 agenda in relation to SSC the focus will shift from the notion that the UN primarily is a carrier of technical assistance, towards the UN as transcending existing and simplistic categories of North and South.
