Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes a systematic and critical assessment of the nature, evolution, and prospects of the development partnership between the 79-member African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) group of states and the 28-member European Union (EU). A core theme that runs through the work is that the ACP’s partnership with the EU remains an important framework for addressing development challenges in the African, Caribbean, and Pacific regions, but needs to adapt to changes in the global political economy, as well as internal developments in both the ACP and the EU, to sustain its relevance and effectiveness. This is crucial for the ACP group, in particular, given its origins in, and core focus on, development cooperation with Europe. The authors in this volume examine the history of the ACP-EU partnership since 1975; the EU’s relationship with the African, Caribbean, and Pacific regions individually; ACP experiences with economic partnership agreements with the EU; and new political issues, in particular, security, migration, and diasporas. Shedding light on the future prospects of this relationship, this book will be of interest to both scholars and policymakers working on the ACP-EU relationship and related development issues, including trade, aid, security, and migration.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Africa, grade: 1,0, University of Cologne (Forschungsinstitut für Politische Wissenschaft und Europäische Fragen), course: Multilateralism and the EU, language: English, abstract: Economic relations between the EU and ACP countries have a long tradition. After Yaoundé conventions in the 1960s, 1975 the first Lomé Agreement was established between ACP countries and EC member states. Between 1975 and 2000 EU and ACP countries ran four subsequent Lomé conventions replaced by Cotonou agreement now. Lomé was concerned to be an agreement providing ACP countries better access to European markets in order to push economic development and build up domestic production. The emergence of WTO in 1995 changed the regulatory framework for regional trade agreements in such a way, that Lomé IV could not pass into a fifth version. In order to be compliant with WTO measures, a new agreement was worked out 2000 in Cotonou. It came into power in 2002. The complete establishment of that treaty it is still far from becoming reality, as a considerable number of ACP countries have still not negotiated EPAs. A crucial issue in these negotiations is the division of ACP countries in six groups for regional EPAs. This division does not merge with other regional trade and political networks in Sub-Saharan Africa and does not include all ACP countries. With 'good governance' having emerged as a 'vital' issue in international politics and especially in EU's agenda, a relevant number of non-economic issues found their way into Cotonou agreement. By linking trade agreements and development aid with the spread of European or Western democracy 'standards' those different fields were brought into contact. The major question of the following research shall be, whether EU trade policy towards ACP countries is supposed to be an instrument serving the diffusion of human rights and democracy or rather a 'smoke screen

This book was released on 2019 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The EU is currently negotiating a successor to its Cotonou Agreement of year 2000 with the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) states. The political and economic context has changed enormously over the past two decades, with trade relations between the EU and the more developed ACP countries now largely regulated by bilateral and regional Economic Partnership Agreements. Since 2015, in line with international sustainability targets, social and environmental aspects must be taken into account in international treaties, while in 2018 the African Union (AU) agreed to establish an African Continental Free Trade Area. A successor to Cotonou offers an opportunity to modernise the rules on issues including investment, services and migration. This could also generate greater interest in the talks in Germany and the EU. But the cooperation need to be placed on a new foundation and the African states will have to decide whether they want to negotiate together, as a continent. (Autorenrefer

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cotonou Partnership Agreement, signed in 2000 and set to expire in 2020, is allegedly the most advanced collaboration between the EU and some of the lowest-income countries in the world. In practice, however, its achievements are meagre and contested. Nonetheless, the EU and ACP countries officially launched in 2018 the negotiation of the post-Cotonou agreement, which aims to deepen the Cotonou’s acquis. While environmental concerns in the EU-Africa relation often fall under the radar of scientific literature, this paper aims to show how the prism of environmental and climate mainstreaming helps in explaining the declining relevance of the post-Cotonou framework. Even though a rhetoric of a ‘deepened partnership’ became the leitmotiv of post-Cotonou, ‘far reaching’ environmental provisions in the future agreement are impeded by structural deficiencies. This reflects in post-Cotonou’s current draft, trying hard to push environmental ambitions but maintaining a ‘coherence’ between regional protocols that is detrimental to any real environmental mainstreaming progresses. A ‘greener’ post-Cotonou will be achieved only if references to other external policies are made due to the progressive ‘externalisation’ of Cotonou’s original pillars: political dialogue, trade and development cooperation into other agreements reducing therefore post-Cotonou’s added-value to a minimal.

Book excerpt: Political Conditions in the Cotonou Agreement: Economic and Legal implications 3 Following the joining of the EEC by the United Kingdom in 1973, a new agreement was signed in 1975 which led to the inclusion of the Anglophone members of ACP countries and the beginning of a series of Lomé Conventions. [...] There are examples of countries 7 According to Article 9(2) of the Agreement, "Democratic principles are universally recognized principles underpinning the organization of the Country to ensure the legitimacy of its authority, the legality of its actions reflected in its constitutional, legislative and regulatory system, and the existence of participatory mechanisms. [...] In examining the alternatives to the wording of Articles 96 and 97 of the Cotonou Agreement and bearing in mind that the political dimensions discussed in this article are in all certainty going to feature in the EPA negotiations, one possible solution would be to divert a number of the situations within which the EU is entitled to take 14 unilateral action, to the dispute settlement mechanism wit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: This masters thesis discusses the recently concluded treaty between the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries on the one hand and the European Union (EU) on the other. This Agreement having signed in Cotonou, Benin, is known as the Cotonou Agreement. The Cotonou Agreement is the latest in a series of conventions between the two parties that have their genesis in the late 1950s. The primary goal of this work was to find out to what extent, if at all, the newly signed Agreement is likely to contribute to the economic renaissance of the ACP countries. In so doing it traces development of the ACP-EU conventions right from their very beginning. The performance of the relationship to date is examined with a view to determining whether the lessons learnt therefrom have been incorporated in the new Agreement. There is a detailed analysis of the trade and aid provisions of the Cotonou Agreement. Apart from the economic provisions, other major provisions and developments of the ACP-EU Conventions are discussed with a view to providing a wholesome picture.
