The EU, the United States and Partnership in Development Cooperation: Bridging the Gap?
研究了欧盟与美国发展政策中伙伴关系的体现程度，发现传统上更注重伙伴关系的欧盟近年因安全考量差距缩小，而美国则更多与当地行动者合作。
This paper investigates the degree to which EU and United States development policies reflect partnership, meaning that aid is based on negotiations on an equal basis. It finds that, while the EU has traditionally been more focused on partnership than the United States, in recent years the gap is narrowing. The EU is increasingly providing aid based on a security rationale and has become reluctant to give budget support, while the United States is starting to work more with local actors. Changes in public support for aid, the EU’s growing role as a security provider and institutional changes can explain this trend.
