possessions in the last few days had time and leisure to give me a few thoughts on EU development policy (in particular EU-EZ). There was then finally match the book of SID Bonn "The development cooperation of the European Commission - the organization and operation," read (edited by Günther Oldenbruch and Stefanie Knocks). The book is based on a cycle of events in cooperation of the DIE, the EADI and the V-EZ/InWEnt from 11 to 14.9.2007, ie a few months after the end of the German EU Presidency. The contributions are from Alexander Baum and Klaus Rudischhauser (European Commission), Friedrich Kitschelt (BMZ), Christiane Overkamp (CIDSE), Sven Grimm (DIE) and Jos van Gennip (SID Netherlands). The Contents Foreword and are available online.
find the book highly recommended as it provides a relatively compact and good overview of the structures of the EU-EZ communitaurised (ergo: ACP agreement is only tangential). In particular, I agree with the assessment of the authors must suffer, that knowledge is not about the EZ of the European Community spread really far. The book, however, was designed more for teaching and learning purposes, so one should not expect a normal reader. In addition, the book apart from a few documented Questions and debate contributions from events less critical as regards the assessment of EU development cooperation. There are only descriptive again the perspective of the speakers. If this is done as a reader keeps in mind, but you can still learn some facts and relationships from this compilation.
