« You mean, that your view of the world, your ideology about an unregulated financial market, was not right, it was NOT working? »
« Absolutely, precisely. You know that’s the precisely the reason I was shocked, because I have been going
for 40 years or more with the very considerable evidence that it was
working exceptionally well. »

Alan GREENSPANformer Chairman of US Federal
Reserve
• Honest acknowledgment of things not working in the financial markets.
• Yet institutions and agencies do not « LEARN » and INNOVATE» fast enough, and dangerously become part of the problem instead of part of the solution.

Existing and Emerging Global Challenges
![Page 11: Vikas NATH Head – Media and Communications South Centre, Geneva SouthCentre](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cfa550346895d91cad6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
We are at a Crucial Juncture: one global crisis after other….
Food Crisis, Financial Crisis, Climate Crisis, Unemployment Crisis…
• The Old World Order is weakening• The New World Order has not fully formed
« There is a danger of the old world resurrecting and interfering with the
transformational processes of the present »
![Page 12: Vikas NATH Head – Media and Communications South Centre, Geneva SouthCentre](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cfa550346895d91cad6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Finding Solutions?
• Best-Shot Method (one country provides the solution)
Global Positioning System, Cure of HIV/AIDS
• Weakest-Link (one country decides not to create global problem)
Eradication of Polio, Drugs Trade
• Aggregation Method (Several Countries Network to provide solution)
Internet, Climate Stability, Food Security, Financial Stability
![Page 13: Vikas NATH Head – Media and Communications South Centre, Geneva SouthCentre](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cfa550346895d91cad6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
NETWORKED COOPERATION IS A MUST
• No one country or agency can provide all the solutions.
• More and more solutions require participation of more and more countries.
Cost of Inaction > Cost of Networked Cooperation
![Page 14: Vikas NATH Head – Media and Communications South Centre, Geneva SouthCentre](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cfa550346895d91cad6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Development Agencies
• OECD / DAC Framework (Paris Declaration)(Bringing together traditional + EU+ Agencies)• South – South Cooperation Framework (China-Africa Forum (FOCAC), IBSA Network)• Development Cooperation Forum(UN/ECOSOC, 2007 Initiative) to bring
together traditional and non-traditional agencies.

INNOVATIVE NETWORKS
North – South
South – South or North-South-South
New Diplomacy or Diplomacy 2.0
![Page 23: Vikas NATH Head – Media and Communications South Centre, Geneva SouthCentre](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cfa550346895d91cad6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Eg: CLIMATE CHANGE
• Climate Change is an Economic and Environmental issue.
• Country Delegations on Climate Change are drawn from trade specialists, lawyers, development experts, environmentalists….
……..in form of inter-agency groups. This
cannot happen without Cooperation Networks.
![Page 24: Vikas NATH Head – Media and Communications South Centre, Geneva SouthCentre](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cfa550346895d91cad6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
ADVANTAGES
• Everyone can contribute. You do not have to be rich to provide cooperation to others.
(Julius Nyerere: if you cannot share your wealth, share your poverty)
• Everyone can understand how they are creating the problem and be a part of the solution.
• Allows « ALTERNATIVE » Views

LIMITATIONS
• Unwilling to Network
• Network within Agencies or like-minded Agencies only
• Agencies not ready for shift from traditional North - South Power Dynamics
• …………..

Where does that lead to?
Thomas KUHN: Structure of Scientific Revolution (1962)
Science evolves through alternating « normal » and « revolutionary » phases.
Normal Phase: Puzzle Solving- within familiar science or existing paradigm
Revolutionary Phase: Thinking outside of familiar science or out of box thinking ……

…. PARADIGM SHIFT IN DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION
• Can NOT look for solutions to existing problems within existing paradigms that created it.
• Development Cooperation no longer remains a Foreign Affair but an Inter-Agency Affair.
• Transformation Thinkers in Development Cooperation.
