Welcome to IOU Digital Library

A theoretically informed and historically grounded analysis of European Union aid policy that argues EU external assistance functions as a form of structural power in world politics. Patrick Holden examines how the EU uses development aid not only for normative goals like poverty reduction but also to shape political and economic structures in key regions, thereby augmenting its influence. The book includes case studies from the Middle East, post-Soviet space, Africa, Latin America, and Asia to illustrate how aid policy operates as a geopolitical instrument in the 21st century.
