Abstract
La cooperación para el desarrollo constituye uno de los activos más importantes de la presencia de la Unión Europea en el mundo. Se ha ido consolidando progresivamente, para ser hoy uno de los actores más importantes de la ayuda oficial al desarrollo, tanto por sus aportaciones —que la convierten, en su conjunto, en el primer donante mundial—, como por su objetivo de convertirse en socio en el desarrollo y, con ello, ejercer la cooperación en el marco de la gobernanza global. Sin embargo, existen varias amenazas y riesgos que ponen en cuestión los avances conseguidos; entre ellos cabe destacar la forma en la que la cooperación para el desarrollo queda articulada en la acción exterior que diseña el Tratado de Lisboa, la atención prioritaria europea a los efectos de la crisis económica y, como telón de fondo, la deriva conservadora que va tomando la Unión en su conjunto, en consonancia con lo que sucede en los países miembros.
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.
