Abstract

[Faced with the simultaneous challenges of financial, environmental, and food crises, as well as the growing power of Southern countries, the multilateral development system has not yet adapted to the emerging twenty-first century global development challenges — or rather the states that constitute the system have not yet taken the steps to renew it. On the contrary, Western countries’ support for multilateral development cooperation declined in the 2000s (OECD 2011, 5, 26; Picciotto 2012, 64). Multilateralism has become ‘frayed [at] the edges if not the core’ (Leipziger 2012, 17). While Canada is a relatively small player in global aid, it has traditionally been engaged within institutions and committed to the principles and practice of multilateralism. That commitment, however, has — like those of Canada’s counterparts — been declining. A closer look at the Canadian case illustrates the new shapes that multilateral development cooperation is taking.]
