      title = {EU development policies : between norms and geopolitics /},
      abstract = {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.},
