Abstract
The future of the African continent is increasingly an object of global interest. The McKinsey Global Institute’s optimistic portrait of the continent’s long-term economic growth prospects has for example encouraged global investors to pay more attention to African markets, while the increasing presence of emerging actors (Brazil, India, and China) as development assistance providers has stimulated discussion on the changing nature of development cooperation and the determinants of development effectiveness.1 This heightened interest is part of a long-term process of changing global perceptions of the African continent stretching back at least over the last decade, a period marked by comparatively high economic growth rates in many African states. It was against this changing backdrop that the European Union formulated a Strategy for Africa intended to represent “a quantum leap in EU-Africa relations” in 2005 and negotiated the Africa-EU Strategic Partnership together with the African Union in 2007 to give Africa-EU political dialogue a higher standing.2
