European Economic Policy in Africa.
Africa and Europe are continental neighbours with significant flows between them in natural resources, ideas and people. This seminar will examine how European policies affect economic outcomes in different African countries. The course will examine tradeoffs between multilateral and bilateral interventions. How does EU policy towards Africa differ from interests of individual European countries? Topics covered will include migration, trade, and development finance.
