This research investigates how global governance and compliance (GRC) frameworks have evolved in response to emerging political alliances and regional blocs across Africa and Europe from 1990 to 2035. With the reconfiguration of political power, the rise of regional blocs like ECOWAS and the African Union (AU), and political fractures within the EU, governments are increasingly relying on regional governance frameworks to manage political risks, diplomatic relations, and crisis responses. This will assess the evolving political governance architecture, focusing on how compliance mechanisms within these blocs reflect changing power dynamics, sovereignty debates, and the rise of multipolar governance models. The study will compare African and European approaches to regional political governance, diplomacy, and crisis management, offering practical recommendations for the future of regional compliance in political diplomacy.
Research Objectives
• To trace the evolution of political governance and compliance frameworks within regional organizations in Africa (ECOWAS, AU) and Europe (EU) since the 1990s.
• To explore how political alliances and blocs have shaped compliance standards for political stability, democratic processes, and crisis management.
• To compare African and European approaches to regional governance, political risk, and conflict prevention.
• To assess how emerging alliances (BRICS+, AfCFTA, post-Brexit alignments) influence global political governance.
• To propose future-oriented governance models to enhance Africa-Europe cooperation in political governance and crisis diplomacy by 2035.
