EU Aid: What Works and Why

No wp-2012-076, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: Over the years EU aid has been much discussed—and criticized. Besides the accusations of being old fashioned, slow and bureaucratic there is also the complexity of a close neighbourship with the EU's foreign policy in general, trade and the eternal question for Europe of what to do as a community, and what to do as individual member states. This study cuts through this discussion by simply asking what works and why.
