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.
