Abstract: The assistance of the European Union (EU) to the prevention and control of Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is a typical case of the international cooperation of health security in the non-traditional fields, which reflects the adherence of EU to neo-liberal institutionalism and the contradiction between. This study focuses on the EU’s assistance to the Ebola outbreak in the DRC since 2018 within the theoretical framework of neo-liberal institutionalism. On the one hand, assistance verifies the concept of interdependence between countries implicated by neoliberal institutionalism and manifests the fact that international institutions have strengthened the willingness of non-state actors to cooperate globally. Thus it provides a reference for the follow-up international cooperation in the security system. On the other hand, it also reflects some contradictions within the paradigm of neo-liberal institutionalism, such as the weakening of aid effectiveness and the international cooperation mechanism. The health issues of the DRC are still far from sanguine.
