The book is timely for the policy community seeking to bolster their connectivity ties in geopolitically and geoeconomically challenging times.” Amrita Narlikar, D.Phil. Oxon, Ph.D. Cantab (incorp.), Distinguished Fellow, Observer Research Foundation “Swati Prabhu reimagines connectivity – not as a geopolitical contest – but as a vital bridge for inclusive, sustainable, and ethical partnerships. Particularly noteworthy is her analysis of EU-India dynamics and the untapped potential of triangular partnerships”. Dr. Adrian Haack, Director, Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS), India Office “Swati Prabhu skillfully bridges the EU’s evolving development paradigm with the global connectivity landscape. Through a careful interrogation of aid dynamics, policy coherence, and environmental diplomacy, Prabhu illustrates how connectivity has become a battleground for influence and a platform for cooperation.” Stefania Benaglia, EU Foreign Policy Expert “Swati’s work offers a compelling case for the EU to evolve from a donor to a partner in the global transformation for sustainability. This book is a timely contribution to the evolving discourse on global development.” Manjeev Singh Puri, Former Ambassador of India to the EU and Lead Negotiator for India at Rio+20 The book unpacks the European Union’s (EU) connectivity agenda, in the context of global environmental governance, with a particular focus on development partnerships. Institutionalising collaborative and cooperative frameworks of financial sustainability is pivotal. The imperative to build North-South cooperation helps in bridging the divide to move beyond a two-bloc world, thus underlining multilateralism. The book makes a case for trilateral development cooperation between India and EU, under the India-EU Connectivity Strategy.
