Abstract: LEGITIMACY Despite the two disadvantages of being intertwined with colonial policy, and of addressing far-off targets, official development assistance grew into a global policy in order to establish its local legitimacy. INSPIRATION The search for legitimacy gave rise to increasing advocacy work and strategic productions, originally intended for developing countries, which turned into a source of inspiration for the domestic policies of donor countries. CONSOLIDATION PROCESS The history of global development assistance policy shows a contrast between very old instruments and very recent objectives, following a long consolidation process. MULTIDIMENSIONAL POLICY The global nature of development assistance also means that it constitutes a form of multidimensional policy. Norms developed into a very complex group and their role very much increased, acting to constrain the very objectives of development assistance.
