Taking into account that ASEAN is the EU’s third largest trade partner, this study focuses on the future of the EU-ASEAN relations and the work being done by both parts towards establishing a strategic partnership (which involves embracing all aspects, from trade to energy, from climate change to security issues, from human rights to sustainable development).
Deepening and enhancing relations between one of the most dynamic region in the world and the largest and most affluent market will bring important benefits to both European and ASEAN citizens. The study argues that strengthening the parliamentary dimension of the relationship would, besides supporting representative democracy in Southeast Asia, contribute to maintaining the momentum launched in 2012.

This in-depth analysis discusses the main political, economic and development challenges that contemporary Mauritania is faced with, illustrating how these challenges can only be properly grasped with consideration to their historical evolution.
Mauritania is an important ally of the EU in the fight against terrorism in the Sahel and faces several inter-related development challenges: ensuring an efficient use of the revenue derived from natural resources, economic diversification and improved governance. Based on this, the study investigates the current basis for EU-Mauritania relations and suggests a select number of policy areas for consideration, as this relationship continues to evolve around issues of mutual concern such as security and development.
