ABSTRACT
The ‘global’ crisis at the end of the first decade of the twenty-first century has served to advance change in the international political economy symbolised by ‘emerging’ economies, powers, companies, and middle classes. In turn, this has generated novel forms of increasingly hybrid types of governance from the G20 to Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) (https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315585062/bf16d3c6-deb3-4704-bb34-deb5fdab8421/content/www.eiti.org" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">www.eiti.org) and Global Alliance for Vaccination and Immunisation (GAVI Alliance) (https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315585062/bf16d3c6-deb3-4704-bb34-deb5fdab8421/content/www.gavialliance.org" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">www.gavialliance.org). The number of ‘developmental States’ in the emerging ‘second world’ (Khanna 2008) is growing, transforming the context for innovation in regional development in the Global South as the EU is preoccupied with intraregional difficulties (Fanta, Shaw and Tang 2013). The post-2015 development agenda constitutes a timely opportunity for the articulation of agency rather than continued dependency by ‘the rest’ as the ‘post-American world’ dawns (Zacharia 2011).
