76 ences in how international co-operation is interpreted, identified, defined and finally executed. Differences that appear to be subtle but are not. We cannot, for example, lose sight of the fact that the difference between giving and receiving actually means a relationship of power. This relationship of power is the main obstacle to a constructive dialogue. When in a dialogue situation, donor and recipient countries must overcome problems such as: Divergences between the donor’s interests and the recipient countries’ needs. Different visions of local capacities and social capital potential. A paternalist approach persists if ‘the truth’ continues to belong to developed countries. Setting of relations based on conditions with donors. Underestimation of an important resource: lateral learning possibilities between nations based on mutual exchanges of successful experiences and best practices in similar cultural and geographical habitats. Up to now this has not been considered as an important instrument/tool for co-operation. Absence of effective coordination mechanisms among all participants. Lack of understanding that co-operation is [also] a matter of attitude. Overcoming these problems is possible if both the governmental and nongovernmental levels adopt mechanisms and have the will to do so. In order to succeed in coping with the above mentioned obstacles – on a governmental level they need to: Create mechanisms that can generate new spaces for dialogue and intercommunication where coordination and partnership result in articulating joint strategies for intervention as well as delivery of resources. Generate strategies through the formal channels of governments which ensure solid goals that respect and support international agreements. Complement these strategies with appropriate mechanisms to call in the private sector to participate, to propose and implement specific and common goals. On the level of Ministries for Foreign Affairs and agencies, it is important to improve evaluation mechanisms as well as reduce the time it takes to respond to project proposals. Create a follow up mechanism to observe the fulfilment of international co-operation agreements for development. Create an information system to control and exchange information on economic resources, geographical coverage, international goals and agreements.
…and at the non-governmental and the private sector level they need to: Incorporate the private sector more actively and with a greater role into social programs. The concept of social responsibility should be reinforced and widely expanded. As a basic condition, legal systems and democratic structures need to be reinforced to guarantee and strengthen participation. Let us all contribute with the best we have, so that the dialogue will not repeat the words of a well-known Austrian thinker who said some years ago: “History tends to be mean, with reason, to those who could have triumphed, but were not capable of doing so.” 77
