Title Proper | Unethical power Europe? something fishy about EU trade and development policies |
Language | ENG |
Author | Gegout, Catherine |
Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article analyses the impact of European Union (EU) policies in the field of fisheries on development in Africa. It contests the premise that the EU promotes local economies, and argues that it often contributes to depleting fish stocks, distorting African economic policies and harming fishers’ communities. In so doing, the EU is violating its basic duty to avoid harm to other states. However, it is now committed to sustainable development. This article offers suggestions on policies which would enable the EU to take on both its negative and positive duties. |
