dc.description.abstractIn trying to understand the dynamics of the EU-Africa relations and inter-dependence, it is important to re-examine the formative structure and the very objectives of the European Common Market or the European Union. The relationship between the EEC and the Africa in the past and what is desired, both singly and collectively, by African states for the future raises a number of relevant questions. This is clear from two contradictory perspectives – exploitation and partnership. There have been a lot of debates concerning the EU – Africa relations. Early disputes include the legality of the OAU to negotiate with the EEC, barely after the independence of most African States. Even issues like the concept of reciprocity were most contentious in negotiations relating to Association Agreements. There has also been the contention that the Association Agreements represent a form of neo-colonial control by Europe over African states and yielding little economic fruits for the latter. It may be difficult though, to decide whether, and to what extent, this charge is valid in view of the fact that the concept is used in two different senses – by those who accept the principles of an open world economy and by Marxists. What this research work will attempt to illustrate is the consequences of the EU-Africa relations on Africa, the diplomatic debates over Association and most importantly, the EU-African politics of economic inter-dependence in a circumstance William Zartman described as “the weak confronting the strong”.en_US
