Inhaltsangabe

EU development cooperation policy has ceased to be unique and perhaps has become more symbolic than substantive. This book analyses the external and internal influencing factors which have contributed to the drastic changes to this policy.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Karin Arts is Associate Professor in International Law and Development at the Institute of Social Studies in The Hague, Netherlands. Anna K. Dickson is Lecturer in International Relations in the Politics Department of the University of Durham, UK

Von der hinteren Coverseite

It is increasingly recognised that EU development cooperation policy has failed to meet its stated aims. In this book, available for the first time in paperback, Arts and Dickson ask the obvious and important question: if the policy doesn't work, why bother with it?

The authors assess why EU development policy has become largely ineffective, citing among the external causal factors the liberalisation of trade, and the growing influence of US and international actors such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund upon EU policy. It also considers contributing factors within the EU such as the enlargement of its membership and the resulting shifts in priorities.

It is this analysis of internal and external factors affecting the decline of EU development policy that makes this study both innovative and unique. It brings together an impressive range of contributors from different disciplines resulting in a thorough and intelligent assessment of the debate.

This study will appeal to advanced level undergraduates and academics of European politics in general, EU integration, development studies, and International Relations.
