The Cotonou Agreement of June 2000 significantly transformed trade relations between the European Union and African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) states by introducing Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs). These agreements encompass a wide range of areas, including merchandise trade, services, investment, and broader development issues. However, their impact extends beyond economics. While "Negotiating regions" indicates the regional groupings involved in the negotiations, the deeper implications reveal that the EU's goal of enhancing regional integration, particularly in Africa, is uncertain. The EPA negotiations have sometimes disrupted existing integration efforts, resulting in a deterritorialisation of certain regions. Conversely, they have also spurred the creation of new regional groupings, leading to a reterritorialisation of Africa. Consequently, EPAs contribute to a more complex landscape of regional groupings while simultaneously streamlining ongoing integration processes. This volume features insights from international experts in African studies and global economics, exploring the challenges, questions, and benefits posed by the EPAs for EU-Africa trade and the continent's development.
