Triangular cooperation, a development modality in place since the 1970s, offers many advantages in today's fractured, conflicted, and unsustainable world. Given the complex crisis that the world is currently facing, expanding partnerships beyond existing alliances and adopting new approaches to development diplomacy to harness resources and know-how from all partners is the need of the hour.
This volume, comprising nine essays, explores India's experience as a partner in the triangular format with leading international development actors, including the United Nations (UN). They show that triangular partnerships cannot replace other forms of development cooperation, such as South-South or bilateral cooperation. However, they can be an important link between developed countries, international agencies, and southern countries and help harness the best resources, knowledge, and technology for sustainable development.
