Democracy, the state and conflict in Africa
Session 5: THE AFRICAN UNION (AU) – MORE THAN A PAPER TIGER? AN AFRICAN RESPONSE TO AFRICA’S PROBLEMS
Group work assignment:
In February 2022 the sixth European Union - African Union summit takes place in Brussels. Both institutions often emphasize their unprecedented “partnership”. Do you see any disagreements or even conflicts (e.g., human rights (ICC), un-constitutional changes of government, trade relations) between the AU/Africa and the EU?
