This paper examines the role of business power in the transformation of EU development policy, using the Global Gateway initiative as a case study of the broader drive towards global infrastructure investment.
The Global Gateway represents the latest phase in a shift towards a financialized and business-centered EU development policy. This strategy exemplifies a broader transformation in global development policies that has been occurring over the past decade aimed at stimulated the rising centrality of business actors as global development agents.
We argue that to examine Global Gateway, we need to focus on the role played by European businesses and how they are building a working relationship with EU institutions to implement the Global Gateway. The paper looks into two flagships projects : the Lobito Corridor (Angola) and the Dakar Bus Rapid Transit Network (Senegal).
