Summary/Abstract: The European Union (EU) is considered to be a norm-setter in building resilience and aid delivery, acting as a transformative actor in the international development arena (both modus vivendi and modus operandi). As development and resilience can improve the quality of life and well-being in different environments at the global level, it is important to replace disruption and societal vulnerability with effective cooperation mechanisms. Hence, the central aim of this paper is to examine to what extent the motivation to provide aid will place the EU in a favourable position of a norm-maker or, a contrario, as a norm-taker. In this context, this study will also focus on the EU's ambition to move forward with a vision for development as well as with a coherent policy for aid-delivery for less developed countries.
