Description
Philanthrocapitalism is an emerging and market-based form of philanthropy, and it has also been interpreted as a tool to promote accumulation by dispossession and financialisation of margins. This study compares patterns of international development cooperation during the 20th and 21st centuries, both north-south and south-south, with recent patterns of philanthrocapitalism. This is the third part of a PhD thesis and mobilises data from a previous systematic review of cases of philanthrocapitalism in the Global South, and two case studies on the role of philanthropy during the covid-19 emergency in Brazil, to analyse the processes and effects of philanthrocapitalism in the Global South. By analysing the history of both international cooperation and philanthrocapitalism, this study also addresses how philanthrocapitalism relates to previous attempts by different forms of international cooperation to increase equity and sustainability in development.
