The Africa-Europe relationship is one of the most important economic relationships for the continent. With an annual trade volume of €225 billion, it extends beyond commerce to encompass economic assistance and infrastructure investment. However, its roots in the colonial era have left a legacy of challenges. In his most recent book, The Self-Deception Trap, Professor Lopes examines the stigmatised narratives surrounding Africa and their impact on key actors and processes.
In this live conversation hosted by African Business, we will explore the future of the Africa-Europe relationship, the the shifting balance of power from West to East, as well as the crucial role of African leadership in securing the continent’s success in the coming century. |
