ABSTRACT
This paper is based on a case study of an emerging cooperative relationship between Samoa’s Office of the Electoral Commissioner and the Association of World Electoral Bodies (AWEB) based in South Korea. Drawing on a theoretical framework that borrows from Foucault’s concepts of the dispositif, and musings on power, we present a preliminary argument that agency for developing countries can be found in certain cases of development cooperation, where the SDGs are employed as a productive discursive tool. We also infer that relationships like these can potentially construct frameworks of development assistance that help depoliticize aid, enhance effectiveness for small donors and crucially avoid reconstructing the colonial legacy of international development.
