Orientering Udsyn: Towards a new European foreign policy in Africa?
On the recent episode of the Danish Radio podcast Orientering Udsyn, Associate Professor at CAS, Karen Lauterbach examines the latest European state visits to African countries and how these point to a shift in European foreign policy in Africa.
With the recent visits of the Danish prime minister, among other European leaders, to African countries like South Africa and Namibia, we are witnessing an overall shift in European foreign policy towards Africa. This comes at a time when China, Russia, India, and Turkey's involvement in Africa have come under scrutiny, with Europe now scrambling to maintain a level of influence by restoring trust with their African partners. On the recent episode of the Danish Radio podcast Orientering Udsyn, Associate Professor at CAS, Karen Lauterbach examines this recent shift in foreign policy, the motivations behind it, the possible gains, but also the potential costs associated with it.
