What partnership? A normative-theoretical framework and empirical analysis of the partnership concept in EU-OACPS development cooperation

‘Partnership’ is a buzzword in development cooperation, but it is unclear what a partnership should be and what it means in practice. My project will combine pragmatist political theory with empirical research to elaborate a normative framework for the assessment of partnerships, and I will conduct
a direct content analysis on a comprehensive dataset of EU development cooperation with OACPS.
