Towards Redefined Dynamics of Power and Economic Partnership in Africa-EU Relations in the Complex Global Order

This concluding chapter explores the complex power dynamics between Africa and the European Union (EU) while providing a comprehensive overview of various contributions within the book. The timing of this analysis is particularly relevant given the emergence of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). As both regions aim to redefine their partnership, a detailed examination of their interactions becomes essential. This chapter not only adds to the ongoing discussions on Africa-EU relations but also illuminates the changing landscape influenced by the AfCFTA. The examination of power dynamics establishes a basis for grasping the implications and obstacles that lie ahead during this crucial phase in international relations.
