Peace & Development in Africa: Examining the AU's Challenge

- May 08, 2023

Introduction The African Union (AU) was established in 2002 with the aim of promoting peace, security, and development across the continent. However, despite some successes, the AU has faced significant challenges in achieving its objectives. This paper will examine the failures of the African Union in maintaining peace and security and its inability to harness development in the region. The paper will analyse the various factors that have contributed to the AU's failures and the implications of these failures for Africa's future.

Brexit and Its Impact on Economic Growth and the European Union

- May 08, 2023

Brexit, the decision of the United Kingdom (UK) to leave the European Union (EU), has had significant impacts on both the UK and the EU's economic growth. While the long-term effects of Brexit are still uncertain, there are already some observable impacts in the short and medium term. One of the most immediate effects of Brexit has been a decline in economic growth in both the UK and the EU. Following the 2016 Brexit referendum, the UK's GDP growth rate slowed down, falling from 1.9% in 2016 to 1.4% in 2018 (World Bank, 2021). Similarly, the EU's GDP growth rate also slowed down, falling from 2.4% in 2017 to 1.4% in 2019 (World Bank, 2021). This decline in growth can be attributed to the uncertainty surrounding Brexit, which has led to decreased investment and lower consumer confidence. Brexit has also led to trade disruptions between the UK and the EU, as the UK's departure from the EU means that it is no longer part of the EU single market and customs union. This ...
