BREXIT, THE EU AND STRATEGIC UNCERTAINTIES: SHORT, MEDIUM AND LONG TERM IMPLICATIONS FOR SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA

Abstract

The article analyses the effects the possible exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union could bring to the African continent. It considers political, economic and security elements comprehensively, through both multilateral and bilateral relations. It also explores how the influence of other European countries over Africa could shift because of the changes a British exit from the EU would bring to the continent’s scenario. The article builds these analyses through the observation of different scenarios, some more optimistic than others.
