Ensuring Peace and Security in Africa: Implementing the New Africa-EU Partnership
20/05/2010
Author : Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI - Italy)
Edited by Nicoletta Pirozzi - IAI Quaderni English Series No. 17
 
Since 2002, the African Union (AU) has been making commendable efforts to prevent, manage and resolve conflicts on the African continent. However, the AU and its newly created structures still suffer huge shortcomings and rely significantly on external support. The Joint Africa-European Union (EU) Strategy and its Action Plan, adopted in December 2007 in Lisbon, established a Peace and Security Partnership. In preparation for the 2010 Africa-EU Summit, this publication brings together African and European views of the progress achieved so far by the AU and the EU in their joint efforts to address African wars and crises, and offers input on emerging priorities and what is still required to make the Partnership work.

All papers collected in this volume were presented at the IAI conference on "Ensuring Peace and Security in Africa: Implementing the new Africa-EU Partnership and developing cooperation in de-mining and disarmament", held at the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Rome on 7-9 October 2009. The conference was organised by the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) with the support of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, DG for Sub-Saharan Africa; the European Commission, DG Development; the African Union Commission; and Compagnia di San Paolo.
A revised version of chapters 2 and 5 (not available here) will be published in the issue No. 2/2010 of our quarterly The International Spectator.
