Abstract

This chapter offers an analysis of EU’s formal development interventions in the conservation sector. The flagship initiative, Biodiversity for Life (B4L), seeks to mainstream environment into EU development initiatives around the world. Focusing on B4L, this chapter draws attention to the potential conflicts and contradictions incumbent in these biodiversity-focused development programs on the African continent. In addition to addressing the long history of European intervention in African environments that shadow contemporary development interventions, LaRocco explores their implications in an assessment of Manners’ conception of Normative Power Europe (NPE) in Africa. The chapter concludes with a case study of Virunga National Park in the DR Congo and probes the nature of the EU’s normative framework for involvement in the national park and its operationalization on the ground.

Fußnoten
1
Current EU members with former colonial possession on the continent include Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
 
2
Target countries in West and Central Africa are former Belgian and French colonies which have maintained dense relations with the former metropole. Due to this emphasis on the Francophone sphere, it is possible that the impending exit of United Kingdom from the EU may not greatly reshuffle biodiversity conservation priorities.
