About the Book :
Development policy of the European Union (EU) is just not
confined to the development assistance programme dedicated purely for
philanthropic purposes but has wider dimensions attached to it; It is one of
the most imperative instrument of the European foreign policy and determines
its relationship with the developing countries.
This implies equally to the EUSouth Asia engagements, which evolved to third
generation relationship from simple first generation commercial cooperation
agreements. For analysing contemporary linkages of the EU with different South
Asian countries, it is crucial to comprehend the role of development policy in
South Asia. This book not only focuses on the development policy but also
an effort is made to evaluate its relevance, impact and implications.
As it is said 'To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive and the
true success is to labour'. This book is also an outcome of 4/5 years of
intense research on the subject. It will help the students of European studies
since there is not enough literature available on the subject. It is a
good reader for policy makers dealing with the development policy of the
European Union. This book is also useful for South Asians associated with
Non-government Organisations (NGOs) and voluntary groups, which are working in
collaboration with the European Union.
