European Development Policy in a Time of Austerity and Transformation

Europe provides the majority of the world’s foreign aid. But economic convulsions at home and a shifting global landscape pose challenges to the status quo. In a tight series of mini-presentations, five European experts will assess the performance and prospects for European development policy.

Current trends and challenges in EU development policy Jörg Faust, Head, Governance and Security Department, German Development Institute

The security-development nexus in EU foreign policy Mark Furness, Senior Researcher and Coordinator of the Beacon Project on EU Development Policy, German Development Institute
