The Impact of Regional Organizations on International Relations: EU-AU Comparative Analysis

Abstract

The study aims to compare and analyze the impact of two regional organizations on international relations: The European Union (EU) and the African Union (AU). Through a comparative analysis, the study explores the similarities and differences between the EU and AU in terms of their role in shaping international relations. The study defines the role of EU and AU in international affairs, and the importance of both the regional organizations in global trade and politics. The study will also identify the existing shortcomings and potential areas of cooperation in EU-AU relations. The study then examines the challenges and opportunities that both organizations face in their efforts to promote cooperation, integration, and stability in their respective regions. Various existing platforms that shape international relations between EU and AU will be further analyzed in the literature. The study will finally analyze the effectiveness of the partnership and future policies that may strengthen the areas of cooperation between EU and AU.
