Beyond Market Access for Economic DevelopmentEU-Africa relations in transition\nAuthor(s): Gerrit Faber, Jan Orbie\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138802957, 978-1138802957\nSynopsis\nThe Economic Partnership Agreements between the European Union and the Africa, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) countries have drastically restructured Europes trade architecture towards the third world. This volume examines the consequences of EPAs for development in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). \n\nStarting from the observation that the establishment of free trade as such will substantially impact upon economic development, the different contributions focus on the potential contribution of non-traditional aspects of EPAs. More specifically, the authors analyze the role of Aid for Trade schemes, regulatory integration issues and broader foreign policy considerations. How can these non-market access aspects stimulate development in Afric?
