Resumen

Este artículo quiere mostrar los cambios producidos y las consecuencias potenciales en las relaciones económicas entre la UE y África Austral como consecuencia de los Acuerdos de Asociación Económica (AAE). Los principales argumentos para la transformación del modelo anterior, y el nuevo discurso y práctica de la UE, chocan con los enfoques y propuestas de diversos gobiernos de África Austral, así como de muchos académicos de dentro y fuera de la región. De este modo, parece pertinente preguntarse hasta qué punto los AAE pueden realmente ser un instrumento de desarrollo en África Austral, y coherentes con la retórica de la UE en torno al partenariado y la promoción del desarrollo en la región y en el conjunto del continente africano.
