Peter Draper

Peter Draper is Senior Fellow at ECIPE, Professor and Executive Director of the Institute for International Trade in the School of Economics and Public Policy, The University of Adelaide, Australia. He holds a Jean Monnet Chair in Trade and Environment and directs the Jean Monnet Centre on Trade and Environment. He is a board member of the Australian Services Roundtable. He is also a Director of the Board of Trustees of the International Chamber of Commerce’s Research Foundation; non-resident senior fellow of the Brussels-based European Centre for International Political Economy; and Associated Researcher at the German Institute of Development and Sustainability.

Peter has extensive international trade and investment policy research experience, traversing a wide variety of global, regional, and national contexts from the WTO, through various regional economic integration groupings, to country-focused projects. He has also worked on many different aspects of global supply chains, particularly their governance and immersion in trade cooperation arrangements, including the political economy of evolving governance arrangements. He has consulted to many international organizations, including the OECD, the World Bank, the WTO; the United Nations including UNESCAP; the EU, the African Union, and the Southern African Development Community. He has also worked for G7 governments on a bilateral basis, and key developing countries, notably the BRICS, in the G20 context. For ten years he was closely involved in the World Economic Forum’s Global Trade and Investment Council, including as Chair, Co-Chair, and Vice-Chair. He has published widely on trade policy, arrangements, and negotiations, and has extensive experience in the think tank world. His expertise lies in international political economy, or the practical study of why states pursue particular forms of integration into the global economy and their approaches to negotiating their terms of engagement (or trade policy settings). He has led and participated in many consulting projects related to these themes.

    EU-Africa Trade Relations: The Political Economy of Economic Partnership Agreements

    By: Peter Draper 

    For the last five years the European Union has been negotiating Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) with the African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) states. These negotiations, aiming for Free Trade Agreements, are fraught with substantive problems. There is also a looming crisis. In the New Year the WTO waiver for the current shape of EU-ACP preferential trade accords will expire. The EPAs are intended to replace the current trade order, but the negotiations...
