Africa-EU Relations and the African Continental Free Trade Area

Redefining the Dynamics of Power and Economic Partnership in a Complex Global Order

Editors: Leon Mwamba Tshimpaka, Samuel Ojo Oloruntoba

  • 1. Analyses the economic partnership between Africa and the EU via the African Continental Free Trade Area.
  • 2. Examines the establishment and implementation of the AfCFTA.
  • 3. Looks at how traditional dynamics of power continue to influence economic cooperation.

This book examines the establishment and implementation of the AfCFTA, which is the largest free trade area globally, covering 54 African countries. It explores how this initiative has the potential to reshape Africa-EU relations by promoting intra-African trade, economic integration, and diversification, as well as inter- regional trade. Both continents have the potential to serve as global actors in reshaping the global order in ways that can affect how multilateralism fosters inclusive development. However, whether this will happen would be a function of how the EU and AU define their interests and relationship.
