发展合作的理念--“发展范式”--是在全球非殖民化和前殖民地政治自治不断增长的几十年中形成的。它可以被理解为最初通过殖民建立的中心-边缘关系的历史性重新配置。中国或印度等新捐助国的崛起不仅对现有的发展合作模式提出了质疑，也对整个发展范式提出了质疑。这些新的“南方”捐助者本身就是反殖民主义和政治自治的历史产物，被理解为不结盟和绝对主权，他们质疑发展（合作）作为西方后殖民概念的想法。本文首先试图对“发展范式”进行梳理，提供一个发展话语连续性和断裂性的历史语境。其次，它提出了中国和印度等新的国家捐助者的崛起在政治规范层面和现实政治层面上是什么样的问题。最后，讨论了这些趋势的一些未来后果，说明了深远的（规范）后果和重新考虑既定的发展政治话语的必要性。
Abstract The idea of development co-operation—the ‘development paradigm’—took shape during the decades of global decolonisation and growing political autonomy of the former colonies. It can be understood as a historic reconfiguration of the centre–periphery relationship originally established through colonisation. The rise of new state donors such as China or India questions not only the established modes of development co-operation but also the development paradigm as a whole. Themselves historical products of anti-colonialism and political autonomy understood as non-alignment as well as absolute sovereignty, these new ‘Southern’ donors question the very idea of development (co-operation) as a Western, postcolonial concept. This paper, first, attempts to characterise the ‘development paradigm’, providing a historical contextualisation of the development discourse in its continuities and ruptures. Second, it asks what the rise of new state donors such as China and India looks like at the political–normative level as well as at the level of Realpolitik. Lastly, some future consequences of these trends are discussed illustrating the far-reaching (normative) consequences and the necessity to reconsider the established political discourse on development.
