| Abstract: | From the early 1960s through the late 1980s, the Lomé Convention, the chief achievement of the ACP countries' entente, has been an interdependent form of partnership that has offered ACP States a privileged position in the EU market. Although considered a cornerstone of Europe's North-South economic cooperation, changes that occurred in the aftermath of the Cold War had a drastic effect on the nature of this historic partnership. In the period between 1989 and 1995, profound changes in international relations following the end of the Cold War, followed by the subsequent liberalization of East European economies, the creation of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership, and the restructuring of Europe's internal and external policies, affected the ACP's privileged position in the European Union. This paper examines the history of EU-ACP relations and analyses the Lomé Convention from its inception to the changing dynamics of the 1990s. It critically examines divergent interpretations of the relevance of the Convention in the post-Cold War context, focusing on the concept of partnership. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum.
