In 2025 the United Nations will hold its 4th conference on Financing for Development (FfD). This research project seeks to examine the political capacity of the Global South to develop a coherent post-neoliberal paradigm -- in line with the 1970s New International Economic Order (NIEO) -- around the following three core themes of the FfD agenda: (1) international tax cooperation beyond the OECD's initiatives regarding the fight against tax evasion and tax avoidance (respectively the CRS and BEPS); (2) the mobilization of external private and public finance through either derisking strategies à la the Wall Street Consensus or the strengthening of the multilateral development banks (3) sovereign debt restructuring. Theoretically, the project will be rooted in a neo-Gramscian IPE framework to identify the interaction between ideas, interests and institutions. Empirically, the project will rely on document analysis, descriptive statistics and semi-structured elite interviews.
