Explore the rich tapestry of social cohesion in African societies in our paper. Merging traditional wisdom with modern theories, we offer fresh insights into African understandings of social cohesion. Join us to redefine the narrative and deepen the study of social dynamics.
We explore the potential economic co-benefits of green hydrogen for exporting countries in the Global South and recommend policies for governments and international cooperation to enhance local value creation, employment and other forms of benefit-sharing. A case study on South Africa is included.
Environmental fiscal reforms can be used to both address climate change and social goals, with high potential also for development cooperation efforts. In particular, using carbon pricing revenues for social protection needs to consider design principles to best address distributional concerns.

We look at the development of tax benefits for households and firms for a set of 16 OECD countries. Though reporting on tax expenditures is often incomplete, even in countries with high GDP and comprehensive tax coverage, we can show that data availability improves over time.
The growing middle classes in middle-income countries may play a key role in current trends of democratic backsliding, online activism and lifestyle politics. This contribution uncovers which modes of political participation are prevalent among the middle classes in Peru and the Philippines.

What are the macro-level determinants of social cohesion? New evidence based on a panel of 92 countries for the period 1990-2020 shows that education, government size, globalisation and economic development promote social cohesion, while inflation, corruption and income inequality undermine it.
The paper investigates on how elements of post-development approaches are reflected in current policy initiatives (German feminist development policy, locally led development approach and Global Public Investment) and what potential they have to reform international development cooperation.
Efforts of achieving "policy coherence" and adopting "whole of government" responses to global crises increasingly involve both the national and EU levels in the joint performance of tasks. The DP studies these emerging "administrative spaces" entrusted with desing and implementation of such policies.

In the past, urban issues were largely absent from the G7 agenda. Yet, in 2022, the Urban 7, a recently founded group of city associations managed to influence the first ever G7 ministerial meeting on sustainable urban development, even without being mandated as an official engagement group.
This paper explores the effect of globalisation on social cohesion outcomes and reviews its underlying mechanisms. Evidence points towards substantial losses in cohesion following negative globalisation changes, altering cohesion through absolute and relative changes in employment and expenditure.
