Reshaping EU Development Policy: Collective Choices & The New Global Order

Abstract

The European Union (EU) is one of the world ´s leading donors in official development assistance (ODA) to give it a strong weight in the relationship with recipient partner countries, in particular with those that are more dependent on it. Besides the material weight of its funding, the EU has retained historical ties and influence in diplomatic, political and economic terms in many of its ODA recipient partner countries (particular in Sub-Saharan Africa). Since the 2000s, the EU development policy has not only undergone major structural changes in its institutional framework but it has also started to face a new international aid scenario. The paper explores why a normative-based EU development policy is being challenged by reformed EU institutions and a new global order and how the EU is attempting to respond to this context in face of the EU deepest recession since the end of the Second World War.
