Study examines link between EPAs and development

The author of the study, Davina Makhan, sets two goals: to analyse the relevance for development of the EU’s trade policy towards the ACP countries; and second, to assess the way the EU has operated as a multilevel system (i.e., one that consists of both the European Community and the individual EU Member States) in the EPA negotiations, in order to draw conclusions on how to strengthen the EU’s capacity to fulfil its international development policies. The study is part of a larger research project funded by the German government that analysis the coherence European development policies in the areas of trade and security.
