DESCRIPTION:The lecture will be held by Dr. Tim Zajontz and is part of the
  lecture series "Infrastructure\, Capitalism\, and Dependency in the Digit
 al Age".\n\nMaintaining European influence across Africa has become a geos
 trategic priority in Europe’s capitals. Accordingly\, Africa is deemed a
  pivotal ‘partner’ region in the context of the EU’s Global Gateway 
 initiative. Based on interview research with Members of the European Parli
 ament and Commission and EEAS staffers\, the lecture traces the origins of
  the Global Gateway initiative\, revealing inter- and intra-institutional 
 controversies that have characterised its drafting process. The geopolitic
 al and geoeconomic importance of Africa is shown to have grown in the perc
 eption of EU decision-makers and technocrats in the light of growing Chine
 se influence across the continent.
