Book excerpt: The study examined how the four trade agreements have contributed to the existing uneven relations between the European Union (UE) and African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries and what possible options the ACP countries have that could ensure faster economic development and the alleviation of poverty. Against the background of fair trade, the specific aims are to review the basis for the trade relations between EU and the African, Caribbean and Pacific countries and establish how the relationship developed before the establishment of the World Trade Organization. Furthermore, to ascertain how the multilateral trading system double standards affected the ability of ACP countries to address their socio-economic difficulties. Lastly, the aim was to investigate, the means whereby the Cotonou Agreement tends to address the unfair trade relations between EU and ACP countries to assist these countries to improve their situation.

This book was released on 2005-04-06 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EU and the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries are currently negotiating to develop a new set of Economic Partnership Agreements. This report looks at the progress and is concerned that not enough is being done to help the development of the poorest nations. In particular there has been a lack of public scrutiny of negotiations that will fundamentally alter the trade relationships, as the ACP group will be moving from non-reciprocal preferential access to reciprocal trading arrangements. Without special and differential treatment, the agreements will not be fair. The EU has made no commitment to development in the negotiations, which it has approached as if it were a game of poker. The Committee wants more openness and challenges the EU to make poverty reduction the primary goal of the EPA negotiations.

Book Synopsis The European Union Relationship to the Africa, Caribbean and Pacific Countries in Terms of the Cotonou Agreements by : Jinxiang Li
Download or read book The European Union Relationship to the Africa, Caribbean and Pacific Countries in Terms of the Cotonou Agreements written by Jinxiang Li and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main purpose of this paper was to explore the role economic partnership agreements play in regional integration. The whole paper was premised on identifying the nature of economic partnership agreements that is conceived as a free trade arrangement. Therefore the paper discussed the feasibility of the reciprocal principle between the European Union and ACP countries, and further indicated that there is no need to implement the principle of reciprocity at present. The paper also discovered that, due to the fact that unequal trade relations between the EU and the ACP countries still exist, the implementation of the EPAs is most likely to generate the complementary but non-competitive trade relations between the EU and the ACP countries. Such a situation could result in the ACP countries over-independence on the EU's market. ACP countries are not expecting to such integration. In addition the paper ascertains that the EPAs themselves could contain the intrinsic negative impacts such as discrimination against the third countries on regional integration.
Book Synopsis The European Union, the World Bank and the Policymaking of Aid by : Eugenia Baroncelli
Download or read book The European Union, the World Bank and the Policymaking of Aid written by Eugenia Baroncelli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the experience of the author, an IPE scholar and former trade policy consultant at the World Bank (WB), the book offers an in-depth exploration of the EU–WB relations, conceptualized as hybrid delegation. Coupling cross-time analyses of their interaction in the regions of the Middle East and North Africa, Europe and Central Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa with an original investigation on the coordination among the EU member states at the Executive Board of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development over the ‘voice and participation reform’ of 2008–2010, the book advances an innovative theoretical framework to assess the EU–WB joint institutional and field policy performances. Augmented PA models of delegation, role theory and performance analyses are engaged, and selectively recombined, to investigate the nature, evolution and impact of the interactions of the two organizations, both in their everyday and constituent politics. Hybrid delegation-in-motion is reconstructed, against the background of post-Washington Consensus and post-Lisbon EU, to unveil the changing division of labour between the two largest development multilaterals of the new global context. The book will be of interest to scholars, students and practitioners in European Politics, Development, International Relations, International Political Economy and Global Economic Governance.

Book Synopsis Trade, Development, Cooperation by : Henning Melber
Download or read book Trade, Development, Cooperation written by Henning Melber and published by Nordic Africa Institute. This book was released on 2005 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bi- and multilateral trade relations between external actors and individual African states or regional blocs are becoming ever more decisive. The trade policies of both the USA and the EU are anything but helpful. This is true of the USAs African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), the EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with South Africa and more recently the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) negotiated in the Post-Cotonou era of European relations with the South. All these initiatives have a potentially detrimental impact on regional integration. The latter remains, however, a priority in the developmental policy and strategy documents as formulated both by African agencies as well as the partners in development cooperation in the OECD countries. Hence the question of coherence between trade as aid and other areas of development strategy and cooperation remains to be answered. The three analyses presented in this publication are centred on related issues in the ongoing process of globalization under the WTO regime, and their likely effect on African countries. Each chapter critically examines recent trends in the discourse on trade reform and development. The contributions to this volume offer discussion and food for thought for scholars, policy makers and NGO activists alike on closely related topical issues in European-African trade relations and development cooperation.
Book Synopsis The Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) by :
Download or read book The Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) signed in 2008 signalled a new era of trade relations between the European Union (EU) and the Caribbean Forum of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (CARIFORUM). Caribbean exporters previously had greater duty-free access to the EU market than European exporters enjoyed in the Caribbean, along with quotas that enabled them to avoid price competition with rivals from outside the Lomé ACP (Africa, Caribbean and Pacific) bloc. With the advent of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995, the EU and the Caribbean were forced to negotiate new terms of engagement. The EPA represented a shift towards a more liberal trading regime in which greater reciprocity is the norm.
Book Synopsis Constructing European Union Trade Policy by : Gabriel Siles-Brügge
Download or read book Constructing European Union Trade Policy written by Gabriel Siles-Brügge and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the stagnation of the Doha Round of multilateral talks, trade liberalisation is increasingly undertaken through free trade agreements. Gabriel Siles-Brügge examines the EU's decision following the 2006 'Global Europe' strategy to negotiate such agreements with emerging economies. Eschewing the purely materialist explanations prominent in the field, he develops a novel constructivist argument to highlight the role of language and ideas in shaping EU trade policy. Drawing on extensive interviews and documentary analysis, Siles-Brügge shows how EU trade policymakers have privileged the interests of exporters to the detriment of import-competing groups, creating an ideational imperative for market-opening. Even during the on-going economic crisis the overriding mantra has been that the EU's future well-being depends on its ability to compete in global markets. The increasingly neoliberal orientation of EU trade policy has also had important consequences for its economic diplomacy with the developing economies of the African, Caribbean and Pacific group of states.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite a long historical experience of cultural, economic, political and social interaction with Europe, South Asia has never been a region of frontline policy for the European Union, which has gradually emerged as the largest trading partner of most South Asian economies, a major contributor of developmental aid, and home to a large diaspora, mostly in the United Kingdom. Containing nine chapters by emerging and leading scholars in the field, this volume critically examines the motivations, objectives and impact of the European Union’s development cooperation, economic and foreign policy towards South Asia. It raises and seeks to answers questions like – What role can the EU play in easing tensions between India and Pakistan in times of crisis? Is there an official EU policy regarding Kashmir or the challenge of terrorism? What is the nature and prospects of the India-EU strategic partnership? The book explores the European Union’s concerns and policies towards fostering democracy in the region. It assesses the crisis management capabilities of the EU in Afghanistan, its role in conflict resolution in Sri Lanka, and the patterns, characteristics and challenges confronted by the South Asian diaspora in the United Kingdom. The study will be of interest to all those engaged in the fields of political science, international relations, European politics and foreign policy and Indian and South Asian foreign policy.
