EU-ACP EPA and the Impact on Trade Dynamics and Global Economy: A Push for Legitimate ACP Inclusion in High Level Trade Relations to Sustain Growth

Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of a legitimate EU-ACP trade relation on global economy. The incentive for ACP countries in such an agreement will be given attention along with this. Furthermore, the extent to which ACP countries can get integrated into GVCs and the benefits they can accrue will be explored. The paper will also consider whether ACP countries can take measures necessary to ensure successful integration.
