After almost three decades of international public service as Director of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Executive Secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), and United Nations (UN) Deputy Secretary-General, Professor Carlos Lopes returned from a practitioner to an academic. Currently teaching at the University of Cape Town at the Nelson Mandela School of Public Governance, he has also negotiated with Europe as the representative of the African Union (AU). His path makes him an ideal thinker on institutional power relationships, particularly between Africa and Europe.
