Given the financial strength and cross-sectoral, welfare-promoting powers of private sector actors, it is not surprising that state development cooperation is paying more and more attention to cooperation with the private sector - be it with the financial sector, with the manufacturing industry investing in the global South or with companies engaged in foreign trade. However, private sector actors have their own perspectives on their investments in the global South and different priority goals than governmental development cooperation; unlike the latter, they are not primarily oriented towards collective interests. It is therefore all the more important to systematically analyze when and to what extent cooperation with the private sector can be successful from a development policy perspective and which hurdles need to be overcome.
