Abstract: Abstract Being one of Europe’s closest geographical neighbours, Africa plays a critical role within the European geopolitical and geoeconomic strategic maps (European Council, 2025). Although Africa and Europe share many political and economic links, it was with the 1975 Lomé Convention that the mercantilist and imperialist approach exercised for years by Europe began to change (CVCE, 2017). On the one hand, the European Economic Community (EEC) aimed at moving beyond its colonialist past and spreading its foundational values of peace, economic and social progress, democracy, the rule of law and human rights across the rest of the world through instruments like external aid and trade (Bossuyt, 2017).
