Download or read book The ACP Group and the EU Development Partnership written by Annita Montoute and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 387 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between the European Union (EU) and the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States represents an important yet very distinct case in international relations: its origins were colonial arrangements at the inception of the European Community which were subsequently transformed into the largest framework of North-South development cooperation. External relations with ACP states were formalised in 1975 with the first of four successive Lomé conventions and the EU provided its developing partners with considerable amounts of financial assistance and non-reciprocal preferential market access. In 2000, this relationship experienced a significant readjustment with the Cotonou Partnership Agreement and the introduction of Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs).The European Commission heralded this agreement as a new era in development cooperation and EPAs as development instruments per se. Despite the rhetoric emphasis on the partnership principle in development cooperation, introduced reforms are primarily dictated by the EU while neglecting the impact on ACP states, for which the EPA negotiations represent a good example. As a result, this special relationship has considerably cooled down, the implementation of EPAs had largely failed and the EU became the target of public critique. This thesis demonstrates that the particularity of this relationship was enabled but subsequently rationalised in the course of institutional developments of the EU and its progressive involvement in a changing international political economy. European politics have dominated this relationship from the early beginning onwards and never simply focussed on the development of ACP countries but on a number of self-centred interests and objectives. The goals involved in this relationship subsequently changed and were increasingly aligned with those pursued in multilateral development and trade relations. The EU is not a unitary and coherent external actor and the European Commission has become a driving force behind the implementation of neo-liberal reforms towards ACP states. Special emphasis is placed on the role of the Commission in the processes which had led to the Cotonou Agreement, the implementation of EPAs and the erosion of this partnership.
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 19 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. Critics of the EPA believe the new trade regime will inhibit the development of new (particularly manufacturing) industries in the region and worsen the fiscal accounts of Caribbean countries. This paper, however, concludes that the aggregate negative impact of the EPA on Caribbean states will be modest, although it will likely produce challenges for smaller Caribbean governments. In particular, this paper emphasizes that the EPA will not be effective without the successful implementation and operation of the Caribbean Single Market Economy (CSME), which requires Caribbean governments to plan and coordinate economic activities together. The EPA provides the opportunity for the region to build the framework that will allow it to compete in a liberalized global economy, where a competitive environment is necessary for survival.

Book Synopsis Beyond Market Access for Economic Development by : Gerrit Faber
Download or read book Beyond Market Access for Economic Development written by Gerrit Faber and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-06-17 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Economic Partnership Agreements between the European Union and the Africa, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) countries have drastically restructured Europe’s trade architecture towards the third world. This volume examines the consequences of EPAs for development in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Starting from the observation that the establishment of free trade as such will substantially impact upon economic development, the different contributions focus on the potential contribution of non-traditional aspects of EPAs. More specifically, the authors analyze the role of Aid for Trade schemes, regulatory integration issues and broader foreign policy considerations. How can these non-market access aspects stimulate development in Africa, and how have they been addressed in the EPAs? In short, this brings us to the question whether the ‘light version EPAs’ as they currently stand are a missed chance or a blessing in disguise?

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 Unintended Consequences of EU External Action by : Olga Burlyuk
Download or read book Unintended Consequences of EU External Action written by Olga Burlyuk and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a conceptualisation of unintended consequences and addresses a set of common research questions, highlighting the nature (what), the causes (why), and the modes of management (how) of unintended consequences of the European Union’s (EU) external action. The chapters in the book engage with conceptual and empirical dimensions of the topic, as well as scholarly and policy implications thereof. They do so by looking at EU external action across various policy domains (including trade, migration, development, state-building, democracy promotion, and rule of law reform) and geographic areas (including the USA, Russia, the Western Balkans, the southern and eastern European neighbourhood, and Africa). The book contributes to the study of the EU as an international actor by broadening the notion of its impact abroad to include the unintended consequences of its (in)actions and by shedding new light on the conceptual paradigms that explain EU external action. This book fills the gap in IR and EU scholarship concerning unintended consequences in an international context and will be of interest to anyone studying this important phenomenon. It was originally published as a special issue of The International Spectator (Italian Journal of International Affairs). Chapters 1, 3, 7, 8 and 9 are available Open Access at https://www.routledge.com/products/9780367346492.

Book Synopsis Sustainable Development in Africa-EU relations by : Mark Langan
Download or read book Sustainable Development in Africa-EU relations written by Mark Langan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-05 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union has been one of the most vocal advocates of ‘sustainable development’, particularly in its dealings with developing countries. Even prior to the formulation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the EU has insisted upon the need for sustainable approaches to poverty reduction and economic growth in the Global South. When examining EU relations with African countries as part of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) group, however, it becomes clear that the translation of Europe’s sustainability discourse into practice is highly problematic. Notably, there are concerns that the EU’s free market approach to development – embodied in its EPA trade deals – is incompatible with genuine, pro-poor forms of sustainable growth. Moreover, the EU is often seen as a hegemonic actor whose trade and aid interventions in Africa often do more to perpetuate poverty than to ameliorate it. This book casts a critical light on Africa-EU relations with regards to the EU’s sustainability pledges. It does this through looking at an array of issues – not least trade, aid, the environment, and democratic institutions. In this vein, the book poses a challenge to EU trade and development discourse in the era of the UN SDGs. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue in Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal.

Download or read book The African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) Group and the European Union written by Mark Paterson and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 79-member African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) Group was established in 1975 with the aim of partnering the European Economic Community, now the 28-member European Union (EU), to promote the sustainable development of countries in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific, and to integrate them into the global economy on more equitable terms. The Centre for Conflict Resolution (CCR), Cape Town, South Africa, convened about 30 leading policymakers, scholars, and civil society actors to assess the nature of the relationship between the ACP Group and the EU and the potential for their further strategic engagement, as the final five-year review of the Cotonou Agreement of 2000 between the two sides approaches in 2015. The seminar also sought to support the ACP Group's institutional reform efforts and the broadening of future relations with new non-European partners such as China, Brazil, India, and Russia. Discussions focused on seven key themes: the ACP/EU historical and trade relationship; the past, present, and future of this relationship; the impact of Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs); South Africa's engagement with the ACP and the EU; the security dimension of the ACP/EU relationship; comparative regional integration in the Caribbean and the Pacific; and geo-politics and migration.

Book excerpt: Leveraging trade and investment for sustainable development is the core objective of the EU's economic partnership agreements (EPAs) with African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) states. Implementation of EPAs has now reached cruising speed: in 2019 we implemented seven agreements, with 31 partners - 14 of them in Africa. This is unmatched in any other region of the world. While implementation of the African agreements started a bit later, the EPA with the Caribbean has already celebrated 10 years of application. EPAs are an evolving, dynamic process that has now entered a new era. Demand for EPAs in the ACP states is increasing, with more countries joining already existing agreements. The agenda is also expanding in substantive terms to respond to requests from EPA partners to add new issues to their agreements, including services and investment.
