Talking Trade Justice: The EU's Neo-Colonial Agenda
Channel: Regions Refocus
Date: 2018-10-18

New trade deals with Europe may seem increasingly progressive on the surface-- but what is the true ambition hiding underneath? What economic structure do they entrench for the Global South, especially ACP (African, Caribbean, and Pacific) countries?

This cross-regional panel reflects on the last decades of trade experiences with the EU to reveal the neo-colonial agenda still driving policy, such as the Post-Cotonou negotiations. Speakers: Tetteh Hormeku-Ajei (Third World Network-Africa),  Shantal Munro-Knight (Caribbean Policy Development Centre), and David Abdulah (Movement for Social Justice). Filmed in collaboration with the Caribbean Policy Development Centre.
