Résumé European union economic cooperation policy : between globalization and politicization Economic cooperation with third countries has become an essential element of the European Union's international action. For a long time, cooperation was directed towards Africa, but it has now acquired a global dimension. The « commercial preference » system that structured the Community's relations with the « developing » countries is being phased out and replaced by free trade. EU aid, the bearer of « values » which put the Union on the « international scene », is now linked to a form of« human rights diplomacy ». Conversion to globalization and incremental politicization thus characterize European cooperation policy. Its access to foreign policy status continues however to depend on the problematic capacity of the European Commision to make its mark as a full-fledged international actor vis-à-vis the members of the Euro­pean Union.
