The role of the participant countries of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC). Perspectives for an analysis within the framework of global transformations

Official Development Assistance, as a key instrument of international cooperation, has been modified since its institutionalization within the OECD-DAC binomial in the sixties. These changes were the consequence of transformations within the international system, such as the new configurations of power expressed by the emerging countries. This encouraged the binomial to carry out institutional reforms, specifically related to membership, in order to adapt to the new paradigm of international cooperation and continue to be a relevant actor in the area. Based on this, this research article aims to analyze the motivations that lead the DAC and the participating countries to gather in a traditional organism of international cooperation such as the OECD and its international cooperation Committee. In effect, throughout this article it will be described the institutional functioning of the DAC as the hegemonic organism representing the countries of the North in the international cooperation area. Moreover, the role of the participating countries within the DAC will be described.
