This Policy Brief is also available in French titled: Union Africaine : Quelles options d’autonomie
stratégique possibles ?
The current economic, political and geo-strategic dynamics, centered on the major regional groups, announce a reconfiguration of the international order in which Africa is called to play an important role through its main continental institution which is the African Union (AU). The AU is increasingly emerging as the continent’s platform with foreign partners, and continues to face problems of dependence, governance and leadership. Therefore, in a critical and forward-looking approach, the present Policy Brief, drafted in the wake of the international APSACO conference, intends to question the AU’s Strategic Autonomy and suggest concrete ways and means to achieve it.
