Type one or more search terms into the search box and click on the search button.
The search engine does not distinguish between lowercase and uppercase letters.
A results page will be produced: a list of web pages related to your search terms, with the most relevant page appearing first, then the next, and so on.
Boolean operators
The operator AND is set as default between words. You can combine several words or phrases by using the logical operators ‘OR’ and ‘AND’.
You can also use plus or minus marks for including or excluding words (see below).
Ranking
The more of the words that are present in the page, the higher is the score.
If words appear in the same order as in your query, and close to each other, the score of the document gets high.
Phrase Search
Use quotation marks to compound phrases. If you wish to search for a phrase, you write text inside “…”quotation marks.
Eg. "African studies"

Prioritizing Words
Plus marks a word as necessary. By preceding a word or a phrase with a plus sign, you tell the search engine that you are only looking for documents that contain that word/phrase.
Eg. +policy +activities
Word Exclusion
Minus marks a word as not wanted. By preceding a word or phrase with a minus sign, you tell the search engine to exclude that word/phrase and only to look for documents that match the rest of the query.
Eg. nordic -africa –institute

In 2007, the EU and Africa adopted a comprehensive strategic partnership to reflect the changing nature of their relationship in the new world era. Since then, the relationship between the two partners has deepened or expanded in a number of significant areas ranging from peace and security, human rights and governance, migrations, energy, development cooperation, infrastructures, trade, climate change, to regional integration. While this new phase in Africa-EU relations faces important challenges due, inter alia, to Africa’s dependency; it also points towards the possibility of a substantive transformation based on a shared vision of interdependencies between Europe and Africa. The panel will seek to assess the significance of Africa-EU strategic partnership against the backdrop of the shortcomings that have historically defined and dominated the relationship between the two partners, and in light of the transformative dynamics affecting world politics today.
The panel will discuss and evaluate the concrete steps that have been taken, over the past four years, to move this historical relationship in a direction that reflects both Africa’s growing strategic importance in world affairs and EU’s role in it. Within this general framework, individual papers addressing specific areas of the partnership will seek to capture the fundamental dynamics, challenges, promises and accomplishments of the new strategic partnership since the 2007 Lisbon Conference.
