This second Part considers how the
world has changed since the Millennium
Declaration was agreed and the MDGs
devised and adopted. It starts by taking
a look at changes in the political economy
of international cooperation with
Southern actors growing in importance,
the part played by developing countries
themselves, and the changing role that
traditional donors are likely to play
given recent trends in their own economies
(Chapter 4). The analysis then goes
on to consider changing global patterns
of poverty and the role of research in
improving the global understanding of
poverty and development thinking over
the past decade (Chapter 5). Finally, it
brings together a review of future demographic,
economic, social and environmental
trends and the challenges that
a new global framework may therefore
need to address (Chapter 6).
