| Summary/Abstract |
For North Korea eventually to become a more stable and normal country, it needs to complete the transition from a command economy to a market economy. The international community can improve North Korea's chances of success by first taking advantage of the new opportunities to train North Koreans in financial, technical, and market economic skills. Additionally, the international community can address infrastructural constraints and undertake comprehensive needs assessments. North Korea will not receive significant international development assistance until it gives up its nuclear weapons. Increasing knowledge about the economy will improve the prospect that any deal reached on the nuclear issue will lead to transformation of the economy.

| Summary/Abstract |
Journalists, academics and politicians portray the European Union and China as unitary actors that follow coherent strategies towards 'Africa'. These perceptions help in turn to sustain a discourse of geopolitical competition: the EU and China are presented as bitter rivals of a new 'Cold War'. This 'new scramble for Africa' narrative is an illusion. Despite official declarations, Brussels' ties with 'Africa' are only a small part of a complex web of relationships. Moreover, China's presence in Africa is far less monolithic than outside observers assume. However, these flawed perceptions are quite persistent because they serve the ambitions and interests of governing elites.

| Summary/Abstract |
Negotiation over international development assistance is an understudied but frequently practiced form of international dialogue. The primary issues involve financial, technical, logistical and physical support provided by developed countries or multilateral organizations to developing countries. But the process, strategies and structure of negotiation often need to cope with the complexities of diverse interests, issues of sovereignty and governance, power asymmetry, post-conflict stabilization, democratic transitions, coalition building, and conditionalities, among others. This collection of articles demonstrates the array of issues, contexts, and problems confronting practitioners involved in negotiating international development aid.
