The book European Union’s Connectivity Agenda: Forging Partnerships for Environmental Governance makes a case for the European Union (EU) to collaborate with the global South towards facilitating innovative solutions for the larger sustainability narrative. It spotlights triangular development cooperation between India and EU, under the India-EU Connectivity Strategy which can possibly provide pathways for leveraging global public good. Here, the imperative to build North-South cooperation is to bridge the divide between the two and move beyond a two-bloc world, thus underlining multilateralism.
The discussion aims to explore future modalities of development partnerships, considering the current breakdown of the aid architecture. It also seeks to identify how the EU can shape its development and connectivity policies and build credible partnerships, particularly in a post-2030 world.
