Adaptation and engagement with contemporary sustainability challenges in the EU-Andean and EU-Central America free trade agreements
Comprehensive trade agreements between regional groupings in Latin America and the EU have been in place since the early 2010s. These were some of the first EU agreements to incorporate dedicated chapters for trade and sustainable development that have garnered criticism due to their limited enforceability and failing to transform social and environmental circumstances on the ground. Trade agreements are living agreements; the texts are not end p…
Transcending Geography
Immediately after Brexit, the UK started negotiations to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). The decision is puzzling. First, Brexiteers lauded regaining sovereignty as a key benefit of Brexit, yet the UK Government sought accession to another trade grouping (albeit one far more restrained in regulation and supranationalism). Secondly, CPTPP is a Trans-Pacific project, the UK is not located in that geographic…
El poema “¡dolor, dolor!, eterna vida mía” de José Martí a través del análisis del discurso
The poems of José Julián Martí Pérez, popularly known as José Martí, demonstrate his poetic, philosophical and political side. Therefore, the objective of this work was to critically analyze and interpret the poem "pain, pain! my eternal life" by the aforementioned author. The methodological design used was hermeneutics. In the interpretation technique, the Discourse Analysis model was applied, for which the following categories of analysis were …
Implementation of EU Trade Agreements Under an Assertive, Open, and Sustainable Trade Policy
Since the 2010s the EU has expanded its preferential trade agreements, responding to challenges at the World Trade Organization and preferential trade agreements of key geoeconomic competitors. However, preferential trade agreements are only as good as their implementation. The EU 2021 Trade Policy Review for a more assertive trade policy includes a greater focus on preferential trade agreement implementation. An analysis of preferential trade ag…
Disrupting and Re-imagining European Studies
In 2019, UACES and the European Studies Association of Sub-Saharan Africa (ESA-SSA) launched a project funded by the European Commission’s Erasmus Plus Jean Monnet Projects. The aim of the programme was to encourage and promote diversity within European Studies - broadly defined. The project, ‘Diversity, Inclusion and Multidisciplinarity in European Studies’ (DIMES) sought to explore ways to increase diversity within the field of European Studies…
Post-Brexit trade policy in the UK
Trade policy and negotiations have lain at the heart of the Brexit process. Initial UK trade policy has been characterised by: (1) the need to limit the impact of changes in trading relations (mainly with the EU) to minimise challenges for businesses and the possibility of economic losses; (2) a strong ideological commitment to free trade, and related to that; (3) symbolic and ‘placebo’ actions designed to show that the UK can enact an independen…
Sanctioning Capacity in Trade and Sustainability Chapters in EU Trade Agreements
Although sanctions targeting political regimes receive the most media attention, the EU can also sanction states for labour rights violations through its trade policy. Although in practice such sanctions are applied only in extreme cases, the possibility of suspending trade preferences increases the EU’s leverage. In modern trade agreements, the EU incorporates Trade and Sustainable Development (TSD) chapters for labour and environmental matters.…
From bottom of the pyramid to top priority
Over the past two decades the economic relations between the European Union and Asia have increased exponentially, yet policy responses have lagged behind. Tracing EU official documents since the mid-1990s, this paper shows how the EU continues to perceive its position in Asia as weak, and how it has been shaped by USA actions in the region, and competitiveness concerns. The paper focuses on current trends in free trade agreement negotiations and…
Autonomía estratégica bajo el prisma de la Estrategia Global Europea
El desafiante contexto geopolítico internacional y el marco primario de la Acción Exterior de la Unión Europea (en su dimensión política, jurídica e institucional) proyectan la gestación y desarrollo de la Estrategia Global sobre Política Exterior y de Seguridad, y la ambición de autonomía estratégica como respaldo para la paz y un mundo más seguro. Interesa estudiar, desde una visión compartida y de acción común, cuál es el mandato de esta Estra…
Slow Rise of Trade Politicisation in the UK and Brexit
Since the Brexit referendum, the UK government has deployed a vision of ‘Global Britain’ revolving around trade agreements, yet, this was not a key issue in the referendum. Drawing on politicisation literature, we explore the absence of visible activism around future trade policy, in contrast to moderate activity around the EU-US Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). We identify actors in UK TTIP mobilisation and trace their acti…
Refining the Maritime Foundations of Andean Civilization
Moseley's (1975) Maritime Foundations of Andean Civilization hypothesis challenges, in one of humanity's few pristine hearths of civilization, the axiom that agriculture is necessary for the rise of complex societies. We revisit that hypothesis by setting new findings from La Yerba II (7571-6674 Cal bp) and III (6485-5893 Cal bp), Río Ica estuary, alongside the wider archaeological record for the end of the Middle Preceramic Period on the Peruvia…
From Idealism to Realism? EU Preferential Trade Agreement Policy
This article examines how the EU’s ‘conflicted power’ in trade has played out within its preferential trade agreement (PTA) strategies with third parties. It does this by providing an overview of how approaches to the EU’s external trade policies have evolved over time, especially since the end of the Cold War. Tracing changes in discourse in the EU’s consolidated trade policy demonstrates how the policy objectives have evolved from what could be…
European Union–India Trade Negotiations
This article contributes to debates on the proliferation of bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs), by analysing novel empirical material: the EU–India FTA negotiations, which have attracted little academic scrutiny. By elaborating on the underlying negotiating interests and strategies of the EU and India, the article examines the significance of overarching interests in ongoing negotiations and articulates the defensive and offensive interests o…
Free Trade Agreements in Asia
Este artículo explora los motivos tras la política de acuerdos de libre comercio (ALC) de la Unión Europea en el este asiático. Los economistas se muestran escépticos respeto a los beneficios de ALCs entre economías asimétricas como en las negociaciones entre la UE y Vietnam, India, Malasia y Singapur. Teniendo esto en cuenta, este artículo investiga la interrelación entre los intereses materiales de la política comercial de la UE y los objetivos…
The European Union and Latin America
Relations between the European Union (EU) and regional subgroups in Latin America (Mercosur, the Andean Community and Central America) are clear examples of ‘pure interregionalism’ and provide evidence of the EU's active promotion of regional integration. Within the context of these cases, this article explores what type of international power the EU wields, how interregionalism is embedded in that power, and how it is deployed. Combining strands…
Measuring the payback of research activities
Incidents along the Path
Fears and Strategies
The stalemate at the WTO Doha Round sparked a new wave of bilateral preferential and free trade agreements (FTAs). Nowhere has this been more evident than in the Asia Pacific region. Whilst there are economic reasons for FTAs, these are less efficient and more complex than multilateral agreements and most have had fairly small economic impacts. This paper compares the strategies of a newcomer to the FTA arena, China, and the actor with the most c…
Epidemiología de la enfermedad de Chagas en el municipio Andrés Eloy Blanco, Lara, Venezuela
Se realizó un despistaje serológico y recolección de vectores en cuatro comunidades rurales del municipio Andrés Eloy Blanco, Estado Lara, Venezuela.
