The changing global trade architecture: Implications for Sub-Saharan Africa's development

  • Year: 2016
  • Organisation: Commonwealth Trade Hope Topics Series Issue 131
  • Author(s): Faizel Ismail
  • Countries and Regions: Africa

What are the main changes in the global trading architecture over the past 15 years? How have these changes impacted on Africa’s economic development and the nature of trading relations between Africa and its traditional developed country partners, the European Union, the UK and the USA, and its main developing country partner, China? What are the implications of 'Brexit' - the UK's departure from the European Union - for Africa's trade? And how has the changing narrative of trade and trade integration impacted on Africa’s own strategy to integrate its market? This issue of Commonwealth Trade Hot Topics explores these questions and offers some policy recommendations for African policy-makers and trade negotiators.
