Abstract

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania initiated development cooperation as part of their European Union (EU) accession process. As members of the EU since 2004, the Baltic States have eagerly latched onto the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) as a vehicle for their bilateral development cooperation. Analysing the choice of priority partner countries for bilateral aid, this article shows that the development cooperation of the Baltic States is driven primarily by national foreign policy agendas. Of the three countries, Estonia appears to have progressed furthest in fostering development cooperation, whereas Latvian efforts have suffered due to deep cuts in its state budget.
