The European Union (EU) is a key partner for African regional
organizations and a major promoter of economic and political
integration in the region. Several studies have interpreted the
EU's role in Africa as either a self-interested hegemonic actor or
as a value oriented normative power. In this volume, Daniela
Sicurelli challenges these views by taking a closer look at
Europe's policies towards Sub-Saharan Africa in the area of
peacekeeping, trade and development, and environmental protection.
Using fresh empirical evidence, including interviews with both
European and African officials, she argues that the EU is far from
becoming a unitary player in Africa. Lacking a clear strategy and
coherent normative framework, the EU should be considered a
multi-level actor, where national and supranational institutions
have different interests and push forward contrasting views of what
role Europe should play in Africa. The ability of single
institutions to frame an issue as requiring either
intergovernmental or supranational procedures appears crucial for
shaping the content of European Africa policies. An original
contribution to the growing literature on the EU as an
international actor, this book is extremely useful to scholars,
researchers and policy-makers demanding critical work in the field
of EU-Africa policy.
