This book discusses the interregional relationship between Africa and Europe. It examines various issues and dynamics in the relationship including trade, migration, regional integration and organisations, conflict, peace and security, culture, education, technology and innovation, as well as partnerships between African academic institutions and EU member states or state agencies, and with civil society organisations. Explicitly reflecting African views, the book presents unique analyses of data that generate new insights on Africa and its relationship with Europe and the EU, and provides theoretical and conceptual explanations of this, and by extension, interregionalism. It positively argues that Africa, the African Union and its member states should introspect, reform and make the most of the opportunities that exist in initiatives such as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), and exploit engagement in Africa’s interest to transform the continent and promote development. Ultimately, the book challenges and simultaneously adds to, mostly, Eurocentric debates, literature and examinations of the Africa-EU relationship. This book will be of key interest to researchers and scholars of African Studies, Regionalism, Regional Integration, Development Studies, Human Geography, and more broadly, to International Relations, Political Economy and Political Science.
