La politique de développement de l'Union européenne : réformes et européanisation

Résumé 0

The European Union Development Policy : Reforms and Europeanization An incarnation of the capacity and values of the EU, development policy has since 1957 become a central instrument of international action and is the source of more than half of all public aid for world development. Yet “European development policy” in fact covers a system of “27+1” policies : the bilateral policies of the 27 Member States + the policy conducted by the European Commission on behalf of the EU. Though ostensibly governed by shared competence and an obligation of complementarity, coordination and coherence (the “3c’s”), this system has long been a dead letter. In the past few years, the “27+1” nevertheless seem to have travelled down the path of Europeanization at the political, practical and financial levels at once. It is thus worth analyzing the dynamics presiding over this significant but laborious change, the inherent limits of which reflect the uncertainty of the European undertaking. ?
