Claar provides an in-depth class analysis of the contradictory negotiation processes that occurred between South Africa and the European Union on Economic-Partnership Agreements (EPA), examining the divergent roles played by the political and economic elite, and the working class. The author considers their relationships with the new global trade agenda, as well as their differing standpoints on the EPA.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimone Claar \u003c\/b\u003eis post-doc researcher at the Working Group Globalization \u0026amp; Politics at the University of Kassel and Senior Policy Advisor for Teacher Education at the German Education Union, Germany.
