The spread of industrialization and modernization in all societies has made the expansion and institutionalization of international cooperation one of the remarkable aspects in international relations since World War II. Governments, whether greatly or slightly expressive in international forums, became part of an intricate network of institutions that disseminates standards of conduct and technical procedures through different societies, consolidating cooperation as part of the countries' long-term foreign policy. Ultimately, cooperation is the channel through which a nation keeps connected with prevalent economic and social patterns and with major trends taking place in the fields of science and knowledge, as well as with their applications and benefits. The growing advance of cooperation mechanisms means new opportunities and new problems which, in their turn, begin to demand the construction of more coherent and compatible international cooperation systems, whether in their practices, or in their institutions. This trend is confronted with other problems of a structural nature, the dilemma between the interests for short-term and long-term benefits and the need for more integrated approaches, given the increasing inability to cope with complex social and political phenomena based on the archaic logic of specialization.

The new coalition agreement presents some striking reforms in the field of international cooperation. One ambition is to establish clearer links between policy addressing sustainability, poverty reduction and security. The creation of the new post of Minister for International Trade and Development Cooperation underlines that there is indeed a relationship between international trade and poverty. However, the ambitious programme is accompanied by a 25% reduction in the development cooperation budget. It seems that the government hopes to do much more with much less funding. In this discussion paper, experts from the worlds of research, politics and the civil society propose a far-reaching reform of international cooperation. Innovation, expansion (in terms of both effort and resources) and stronger coordination are cited as the three strands which will combine to create an effective, integrated approach to poverty reduction, sustainability and security. It must be remembered that in...

International relations as a new field of study in political science encompasses what regulates world politics and also defines the main role of different actors involved in international system. And international cooperation becomes the strategic means pooled by different actors to maintain global governance policy, where each actor can offer its participation in multilateral diplomacy in various related areas, such as economy, politics, finance, commerce, military, etc. Most often, cooperation allows different actors to work together to combat global problems that humanity and the world face at the risk of human life. Conflicts, wars, epidemics, pandemics, environmental problems, global warming, terrorist attacks, tax evasion, human trafficking, drugs, thus, all types of conflicts that threaten peace, security and stability in the world, for which negotiation remains the main diplomatic tool to facilitate good cooperation between all actors that make up the international system and in order to guarantee progress, development, peace and stability in the world. International cooperation in international relations is the subject of our study in which some key terms will be developed. First, some key theories of international cooperation will be presented, including their strengths and weaknesses, which at the same time allows us to ask: “How do these theories inform our understanding of contemporary global challenges?" Additionally, this article deepens our understanding of the impact of power dynamics in international cooperation. In this sense, we would like to emphasize how the states which are the main actors in the implementation of cooperation diplomacy seek, at the same time, to compete with each other to defend their own interests and ensure their survival in the anarchic world. To better maintain international relations and build international cooperation, the role of international organizations, whether global or regional, becomes essential to facilitate and shape global governance policy through cooperation, without neglecting the place occupied by private actors, such as NGOs. and multinational corporations. The analysis of a recent case of successful international cooperation in resolving a global issue, such as Covid-19, is what renders cooperation between different actors possible.

The research Dilemmas and rigors of the International Development Cooperation Dimension aims to bring to the surface directions and trends of development in the field of international development cooperation. Through a literature-based approach, using databases from the Web of Sciences and Scopus platforms, you will extract the most relevant specialized papers so that we can identify and analyze the rigors and dilemmas of the topic. Starting from the premise that new dilemmas and challenges appear daily, which urge us to new research topics, I believe that the approaches and debates of specialists in the context of policies and programs implemented globally, regarding the field of international development cooperation, offer us a critical analysis on the way of operating and implementing policies/programs. Identifying a significant number of specialized researches (which are constantly growing), shows us how much the topic has developed lately, becoming a field of trends where uncertainties regarding the effectiveness and efficiency of programs and policies regularly force us to move from one paradigm to another, enthusiastically praising what seems new and performant, on the one hand, and on the other hand strongly challenging negligence, uncertainty, and lack of specialists. Unfortunately, these common approaches, from academia, are nothing more than findings, which are often dusted off by the mists of time. Living in a time when the emerging challenges are increasingly accentuated, this theoretical-applicative research aims to contribute to the development of the above topic. Analyzing the main topics debated at a global level, we will be able to easily establish the deficiencies identified by the specialists in the field. This research gathers its database with the help of WoS and Scopus databases, having as its main research tool meta-analyses, and the main conclusions are gathered with the help of SWOT analysis. The reason I have chosen this research topic is to emphasis the importance of international development cooperation, as well as to emphasis the need to develop a "Modus operandi 1 " system, in terms of policies and programs.
