The Economic Partnership Agreements between ACP (African, Caribbean, and Pacific) countries and the EU has been ongoing since 2002 until current times. Outcome of the negotiations has been varied with some Regional Economic Communities (RECs) quickly concluding a comprehensive agreement whereas other RECs have not and negotiations have prolonged beyond expected deadline date.
This paper looks at the relevant research question of what causes the variations witnessed about outcome of the negotiations of the EPAs. The explanatory power of the Best Alternative to Negotiated Agreement – BATNA - as an independent variable derived from the Negotiation Analysis framework is chosen to explain this situation as the traditional Eurocentric theories of the EU as power have proven limited in explaining the varied conclusions of the respective EPAs.
Findings derived was that, outcomes of the negotiated EPAs were principally function by the availability or otherwise of a BATNA as perceived by the parties involved.
European Neighboorhood Policy as a power instrument of the Euopean Union: the case Azerbaijan
(2019)
Nowadays, globalisation is being increasingly resisted. Nationalist tendencies, yearnings for greater heterogeneity and the pursuit of contradictory trends are growing. Culturally diverse states strive to coexist by defending and promoting their distinct interests, jeopardising international cohesion. In such unpredictable times, supranational organisations such as the European Union are indispensable sources of international stability. Due to the growing complexity of international relations, managing cross-border cooperation has become increasingly difficult. Even the greatest supporter of the European project has to admit that the European Union is at risk. Over the past decade, the European Union has been facing a series of crises. Especially the Eurozone crisis and the migration crisis have reinforced an anti- European sentiment and fuelled Eurosceptic and populist movements across the European continent. These difficulties culminated in the British referendum on leaving the European Union in June 2016, whose result constitutes a major threat to the future of the European Union. Will other Member States follow? Will the European Union disintegrate? What are the consequences of Brexit for the European project as a whole? The purpose of this thesis is to identify the impact of Brexit on European integration. More precisely, this thesis focuses particularly on the effects of Brexit on the European Union’s budget, the single market, the customs union, the Northern Ireland backstop, as well as the issue of immigration. Furthermore, it takes a closer look by analysing the impact of Brexit on German businesses. This study shows that the impact of Brexit should not be underestimated. Yet, the ultimate scope of the consequences depends on both the terms of the withdrawal agreement and the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union. This thesis contributes to the growing body of European studies and provides an overview of current developments within and future prospects for the European Union. In addition, the findings also serve as a basisto understand the challenges of European integration.
