Abstract
The adoption of the JAES and its first Action Plan at the Lisbon Summit in December of 2007 was the culmination of years of thinking about the best ways to adapt Africa-EU relationship to a rapidly changing regional and international context and respond to the challenges that had tested the relationship since the end of the Cold War. This collective multidimensional response was accompanied by a new structure of internal and external coordination aimed at delivering on the promises of the JAES’ ambitious policy and political agenda. The immediate regional and international context that led to the adoption of the JAES as well as the latter’s significance and implications have been thoroughly discussed in the introductory chapter.
