A chapter in The Future of African-European Relations, 2025, pp 15-17 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This introduction opens the chapter dealing with the future of African-European relations by addressing interdependencies between the continents, based on shared global challenges and inequalities. It groups the contributions to this opening chapter into three groups: A first group examines the backdrop of geopolitical shifts and their impact on societies, creating a volatile, uncertain world. The second group then delves into the inequalities between Africa and Europe, focusing on global health crises, including the Covid-19 pandemic, and how to prevent African marginalization. The third group emphasize cooperation as a key solution, highlighting initiatives such as the Public Management in International Cooperation Master’s Program, the role of public administration, and the European Parliament’s involvement. The introduction concludes that broader cooperation is essential to overcome crises and harness opportunities for both continents.
