EU Good Governance Promotion in the Age of Democratic Decline, Diğdem Soyaltın Colella, Editör, Palgrave Macmillan, London , London, ss.1-323, 2022
Abstract
Together with the member states, the EU Institutions are the largest
donor in the world providing development assistance to different regions. Often
attached to these grants are a number of political preconditions aimed at
improving democracy and enhancing good governance. These attempts at good
governance transfer through aid towards candidates, neighbours and third countries
have strengthened the ‘transformative’ power and normative actorness of the EU
in the global politics. Yet, the good governance agenda
of the EUs Official Development Assistance (ODA) policies has changed over
time. In order to deal with the
challenges regarding the changing European context and international donor
market, EU has defined more comprehensive monitoring mechanisms and introduced
stricter conditions for the accession countries in the new reconfiguration of
its funding policies while prioritising stability over democracy in the case of
its neighbourhood policy. In its ODA policies to sub-Saharan African countries the EU opted for thinner and
easily quantifiable developmental objectives seeking to increase its visibility
and pursue its strategic agenda vis-a-vis the rising illiberal externals.
