Efeitos políticos e institucionais da cooperação de Brasil, China e Portugal em Cabo Verde e Guiné-Bissau (1974-2019)

This book addresses the limitations, contradictions and non-compliance of International Development Cooperation in relation to its own announced objectives, bringing it into the field of analysis of its political and institutional effects, such as the dependency relations produced and reproduced and affecting mainly the "beneficiary" countries. Based on its historical relations, essentially of the last 45 years (1974-2019), the book proposes to analyze and understand the political and institutional effects of the International Development Cooperation of Brazil, China and Portugal in Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau, considering that the cooperation resources allocated to the two countries, with the purpose of supporting development produce multiple political effects. The book combines the patterns of cooperation of the "donor" countries (principles, norms, institutions, types of resources, axes of action and practices via projects and funding) with the structural conditions of the "recipient" countries (bureaucracies, level of institutionality, level of action and pressure from social organizations, political stability or instability, use of agency) to infer the political and institutional effects of IADC in Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau.
