EPAS Handbook � EPAS Handbook ! ! INTRODUCTION Welcome to EPAS. This handbook provides guidance and general information on the EPAS programme. It contains information on the courses, important dates, and practical information for your stay and study finances. The EPAS programme is organised by a consortium of European educational institutions. EPAS is born out of the firm conviction of the importance of sound. In the audiovisual arts, sound is generally considered a technical, rather than aesthetic, subject. EPAS aims to address this imbalance through an integration of practice and theory continuously fed by theoretical, critical and conceptual thinking. This way, participants will be able to explore sound as a discipline in itself as well as in relation to screen production, dance, theatre, radio, architecture and other arts and media. Our aim is to develop new ways of thinking and understanding in interaction with people from diverse backgrounds: professionals in the audiovisual field as well as fellow students. Please read this handbook carefully. You can find more information on our website: www.epasound.org. If you have any further questions, please write to [email protected]. We hope to see you soon, Martine Huvenne EPAS coordinator !2 ! !

  • Economic and Welfare Impacts of EU-Africa Epas
    ATPC African Trade Policy Centre Work in Progress No. 10 Economic Commission for Africa Economic and Welfare Impacts of the EU-Africa Economic Partnership Agreements By Stephen Karingi, Rémi Lang, Nassim Oulmane, Romain Perez, Mustapha Sadni Jallab and Hakim Ben Hammouda ATPC ATPC is a project of the Economic Commission for Africa March 2005 with financial support of the Canada Fund for Africa Abstract Th is study examines the economic and social impacts of the trade liberalization aspects of the proposed Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) between the European Union (EU) and African countries. It provides a quantitative assessment of the likely implications of EPAs establishing Free Trade Areas (FTAs) between the EU and the various African Regional Economic Communities (RECs). Th e focus of the empirical analysis is on the trade liberalization component of the EPAs. In particular, the following questions are addressed. First, how will an EPA that includes reciprocal market access agreements between the EU and Africa impact on African countries’ GDPs, levels of employment and other macroeconomic aggregates? Second, what sectors in Africa are most likely to lose and what sectors gain with EPAs? Th ird, what are the welfare implications for African countries from the EPAs? Fourth, how will the formation of EPAs aff ect trade expansion through trade creation and trade diversion eff ects? Fifth, what are the potential fi scal implications of the EPAs? Th e main conclusions drawn from the results and the discussions are that full reciprocity will be very costly for Africa irrespective of how the issue is looked at. A focus on deepening integration with a view to enhancing intra-African trade would provide positive results.

  • The Argumentative Dimension to the EU-Africa Epas Stephen R. Hurt
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by E-space: Manchester Metropolitan University's Research Repository The Argumentative Dimension to the EU-Africa EPAs Stephen R. Hurt, Donna Lee, and Ulrike Lorenz-Carl Abstract Not only is the participation of developing countries in international trade negotiations growing, so is their influence over the global trade agenda. This article highlights the increasing activism and impact of African states through a detailed study of the current Economic Partnership Agreement (EPAs) negotiations with the European Union (EU). In examining African resistance to EPAs, the article develops a constructivist approach to North-South trade negotiations that pays close attention to the role of development discourses. We argue that the growing willingness of African states to challenge the EU to deliver on its development promises during the decade-long EPA process was crucial to informing their sustained opposition to the EU‟s goal of completing a comprehensive set of sub-regional economic agreements. We document African resistance to EU trade diplomacy in the EPAs, exploring how these otherwise weak countries were able to pursue normative based negotiation strategies by recourse to the EU‟s promise of a „development partnership‟. Introduction During the last decade, African states have begun to develop a more active and confident approach to multilateral and regional economic negotiations in which they are involved. This is particularly clear in their attitude towards, and their preventative negotiating behaviour in, the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPAs) talks with the European Union (EU).1 While African negotiators still lack the highly resourced deliberative capacities of their European counterparts, they have successfully navigated the negotiations and enhanced their influence in EU-African regional economic governance processes.
