Lecture week 1 - Introduction to the Course: Structure and Aims
The geo-politics of aid and trade in historical perspective
 Themes of study
- Dutch development cooperation policy, (Smiths  summarises what Dutch
development through time entailed)
- Historical, political, and socio-economic issues in development
cooperation. How different authors are dealing with the information of
Dutch development policy.

 Decolonisation: the Indonesian trauma and Dutch position as international
“power’’
 1949  680,000 euro to UN technical aid programmes, UN has to lead in this
 1989  2,5 billion euro / 3,400 civil servants involved from Dutch government.
completely different situation, the UN is no longer the main channel and very
much in-house. What changed?

as an instrument.
