"An excellent collection of essays that illustrate how EU member
states' wish to implement normatively inspired policies is
confronted with the geopolitical realities of today's world. The
authors succeed in presenting an even-handed account of the way in
which the tensions between norms and geopolitics play out, as well
as of the responses given by EU policy makers." -Wil Hout,
International Institute of Social Studies, Erasmus University, the
Netherlands The European Union (EU), while collectively
constituting the world's largest development provider, has come
under internal and external pressures over the past decade. This
book argues that the EU's development policies are situated between
the bloc's normative ideals and the global geopolitical realities
in which it is embedded. In order to investigate these tensions, it
asks how far the 'normative power' Europe concept exists in EU
development policies, and how far it is recognizable in the EU's
focus on human rights, the rule of law, and sustainability. In
light of the tension in EU development policies between those
ideals and the necessity to project neoliberal and geopolitical
interests, how do receiving countries perceive the EU's development
efforts? This volume, complete with contributions from academics
from a wide range of disciplines based all around the globe,
provides answers to these essential questions.
