O knihe

Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: A, University of Malta, language: English, abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyse European Union policies in the field of hunger and poverty in third countries from the Malian point of view. The aim is to critically analyse the actions of EU taken in Mali to fight hunger and poverty.

The European Union is argued to be the major donor of external assistance, with more than half of the world's official development aid. The European Commission is organised in General Directorates (DGs), the one involved in Hunger and Poverty fight is the International Cooperation and Development DG. EU, as a global actor, has relations with almost all the countries in the world and Mali is one of these. The controversy in the case of Mali is that this country has an enormous inner potential and could be a wealthy country, just think about the mineral resources, but the reality is that Mali is one of the poorest countries of the world.

The country is traditional split in two, Arabic populations live in the north, while Sub-Saharans in the south. Mali`s internal conflict and instability is growing, armed groups coming from the north of the country carry out attacks and move forward to the centre. In order to understand the problems, challenges and most controversies of the EU actions in Mali it is important to understand what the EU has done so far.
