  • THE INTERNATIONAL SHORE

Human exchange across the globe has densified with technology, and the peoples´ dialogue around common problems and collective aspirations has tightened and diversified. From the bilateral cooperation of one country’s government with another, multi-laterals’ technical assistance, or the concrete aid provided by foreign non-governmental organizations, the different actors of the international community have the capacity to affect the domestic policy and the local communities in the countries they intend to support or liaise with.
International actors therefore affect national public law and policy, not only through the deliberation and creation of international rights and standards, problem-solving research, global policy dialogues, and international agenda drafting; they also relate to domestic public law when designing and implementing their cooperation projects in any given country.  For legitimacy and success in their initiatives, international community actors must thoroughly understand the law, policy, and regulatory frameworks in which they will contextualize their activity.  Moreover, to advance social innovation and ensure that their cooperation will be capable of being locally appropriated, and be both sustainable and scalable, international actors must understand the culture within which their initiatives or projects are deployed.
