Abstract
In this paper the role of the EU as a global actor is analyzed against the theories of global actorness and Europeanization.

The development policy of the EU must therefore compete with national policies. Based on these factors, the aim of this paper is to study how the ability of EU to implement a coherent policy affects their global actorness. In addition to the theory of... (More)
In this paper the role of the EU as a global actor is analyzed against the theories of global actorness and Europeanization. Since the beginning of the 2000s, the EU has implemented a number of reforms to make its development policy more efficient and coherent. They have composed a consensus that describes goals and priorities of the EU in development policy. However, development politics within the EU is characterized by shared competence between the EU institutions and their member states. The development policy of the EU must therefore compete with national policies. Based on these factors, the aim of this paper is to study how the ability of EU to implement a coherent policy affects their global actorness. In addition to the theory of actorness, Europeanization is also used to examine whether the development policy of the EU has had any impact on the national policies of the member states. The results presented in this thesis indicate that no or very shallow Europeanization has taken place and that actorness of the EU is affected negatively by low coherence between the member states.
