Europe, G20, and South-South Trade: Insights from European Approaches to Regional Integration in Africa November 17, 2011 / Sanoussi Bilal, Isabelle Ramdoo, Quentin de Roquefeuil


What would be the implications for an African regional integration processes? Emerging players have yet to pay greater attention to African regional integration initiatives, which remain marginal in their engagement. In Seoul in November 2010, the G20 stressed the importance of concerted actions to support regional integration in developing countries. Africa has to lead this process if it is to succeed to its benefit. Insights could also usefully be gained from the experience (positive and not) of European engagement in supporting African integration initiatives.

The aim of this paper is to briefly highlight some of the salient features of the European support to regional integration in Africa and the increasing presence of emerging players in Africa. In doing so, it will draw some tentative insights toward a more concerted effort at the G20 in support of African endeavors to foster its regional integration processes.
