This book offers, for the first time, a systematic analysis of their development policy paradigms, the implementation of these guiding principles, and how they informed the institutional evolution of the BMZ through the end of the Scholz administration in 2025. Combining recent political developments, new empirical data, and cutting-edge scholarly insights, the book provides an unparalleled reference work on the history and practice of German development cooperation. Intended for an expert audience in academia, politics, and practice, it also contributes to contemporary political history. By blending biographical, institutional, and policy-analytical perspectives, the volume opens new avenues for understanding the evolution and governance of state development cooperation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Wolfgang Gieler\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Professor at the Department of Applied Social Sciences, University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Dortmund (Germany) and at Hankuk University Seoul (South Korea).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Meik Nowak\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Research Associate at Helmut Schmidt University in Hamburg (Germany) and a Lecturer at the University of The Western Cape (Republic of South Africa).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 December 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Fachmedien Wiesbaden\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783658524760\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50804829388940,"sku":"9783658524760","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783658524760.jpg?v=1781784554","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783658524760","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
