Title
EU led development: from colonial enterprise to coaxial policy instrument
Author
Abstract
This chapter focuses on EU-led development as a particular articulation of EU policy vis-à-vis developing countries. It first traces the colonial origins of the then European Economic Community’s (EEC) engagement with the so-called overseas countries and territories (OCTs) through the legal provisions underpinning that engagement in the Rome Treaty. The second section of the chapter moves on to explore development as a domestic and foreign policy imperative in the European Union. This section tackles development in the EEC and later the EU as a domestic tool of European integration, situating EU-led development within the processes of enlargement and deepening characterising European integration. The section also recounts the story of development as a coaxial instrument of foreign and economic policy. The third section focuses on the three-pronged development cooperation policy based on aid, trade, and investment. The fourth and final section discusses the future of EU-led development.
