Paper long abstract

This paper will review very recent experience with Official Development Assistance, updating a chapter to be published in an edited book during 2026. The discussion will present illustrative data, providing evidence in terms of the level and composition of ODA, as well as examples of the impact that reductions in ODA has in recipient and donor countries. Deteriorating international security and the rightward political shift in the Global North have increasingly marginalised the Global South meaning that ODA is not by any means the only area where these changes have been detrimental to the socio-economic development of the Global South. Examples from international trade and finance, global health measures and responses to climate change will be presented as evidence.
