Abstract

The European Union’s external relations have long embraced development policy, which has affected the advancement of cooperation with countries and regions in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific, Asia, and Latin America. While foreign aid has been one of its main tools, the notion of development has been changing, requiring the EU to adjust or, otherwise, risk further endangering its image, reputation, and effectiveness as an international actor. Nevertheless, development remains a crucial concern, at least until 2030, in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals. This context comes with a new set of requirements for the EU, namely, moving towards the pursuit of international partnerships and international cooperation to tackle global and regional challenges. Hence, the central question for this volume is to what extent and how the EU’s development policy and external relations have adapted to meet the changing requirements of global development.
