Abstract

Cooperation for development is one of the most important assets of the European Union presence in the world. It has progressively consolidated, so that nowadays it has become of the most important actors of Official Development Assistance (ODA), as much for its contributions – which make it, as a whole, the world’s largest donor –, as for its aim of becoming a partner in the development and thereby implementing cooperation in the framework of global governance. However, there are several threats and risks that challenge the progress achieved; among them, it is worth mentioning the way in which development cooperation is articulated in the external action designed by the Lisbon Treaty, the European priority interest focused on the effects of the economic crisis and, behind this, the conservative drift that the EU is taking as a whole, in line with what is happening inside the member countries.
