'There is a crying need for a comprehensive analysis of the orientation of the European Union to the development of the countries and peoples of the South. This book makes an excellent start in this direction. It will profit both academics and policy-makers to make a careful study of its content.' - Professor T.V. Sathymurthy, University of York 'As North-South relations become increasingly important in international affairs, the role of the European Union in development cooperation becomes potentially far more significant. European Union Development Policy is a timely analysis of current trends, combining political contributions with thorough academic analysis.' - Professor Paul Rogers, Department of Peace Studies, University of Bradford 'This book makes a timely contribution to the debate about the future of Lome, which expires in February 2000, and about EU development policy more broadly. It will appeal to readers interested in European policy, and to students of development studies...a valuable addition to the library.' - Lucy Stevens, Journal of Common Market Studies
