В условиях нарастающей технологической конкуренции глобальных производственных центров страны Африки приобретают значение перспективных партнеров для расширения кооперационных связей и формирования основы цифрового и зеленого перехода. Традиционно одним из ключевых внерегиональных акторов в Африке выступает Европа, однако в последние годы заметно усиливается экономическое присутствие Китая, что формирует новую конфигурацию конкурентного взаимодействия и влияет на развитие международных цепочек стоимости. Цель исследования заключается в выявлении современных тенденций развития торгово-кооперационных связей стран Европы и Африки на основе многомерного статистического анализа. Методологическую основу работы составляют положения теории международной торговли и глобальных производственных цепочек. В исследовании применены методы количественного анализа торговых коэффициентов, а также сравнительного и трендового анализа интегральных показателей, отражающих взаимную торговую привлекательность, степень производственной сопряженности и технологическую пропорциональность товарообмена. Эмпирическая база исследования сформирована на основе статистических данных UNCTAD Stat и OECD Data Explorer. Анализ охватывает крупнейшие страны Африки и зарубежной Европы (8 и 9 государств соответственно) за период 1995–2022 гг. Полученные результаты показывают, что при сохраняющейся относительно низкой взаимной торговой привлекательности кооперационные связи между регионами постепенно укрепляются. Африка по-прежнему сохраняет периферийный характер по отношению к европейскому экономическому пространству, однако технологическая пропорциональность товарообмена демонстрирует тенденцию к росту. В целом динамика развития торгово-кооперационных связей оценивается как положительная, что создает предпосылки для сохранения конкурентных позиций Европы в Африке в условиях усиления китайского присутствия.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>At present, the role of the African continent in the system of global economy is undergoing significant transformation. In the context of intensifying technological competition among major global production centers, African countries are increasingly viewed as promising partners for expanding cooperative ties and forming the basis for digital and green transition. Traditionally, Europe has been one of the key external economic actors in Africa; however, in recent years China’s economic presence in the region has grown considerably. This development creates a new configuration of competitive interaction and influences the evolution of global value chains. The purpose of this study is to identify current trends in the development of trade and cooperation ties between European and African countries through multidimensional statistical analysis. The methodological framework of the research is based on the theories of international trade and global value chains. The study employs quantitative analysis of key trade coefficients as well as comparative and trend analysis of integral indicators reflecting mutual trade attractiveness, the degree of production interconnectedness, and the technological proportionality of commodity exchange. The empirical basis of the research is formed by statistical data from UNCTAD Stat and the OECD Data Explorer. The analysis covers the largest countries of Africa and Western Europe (8 and 9 countries respectively) over the period of 1995–2022. The results show that despite a relatively low level of mutual trade attractiveness, cooperative links between the regions are gradually strengthening. Africa continues to retain a peripheral position relative to the European economic space, while the technological proportionality of traded goods demonstrates a growing trend. Overall, the dynamics of trade and cooperation relations between Europe and Africa can be assessed as positive, creating conditions for Europe to maintain competitive positions in Africa amid the strengthening presence of China.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>международная торговля</kwd><kwd>Европа</kwd><kwd>Африка</kwd><kwd>торговая комплементарность</kwd><kwd>глобальные цепочки стоимости</kwd><kwd>резильентность</kwd><kwd>эквивалентность</kwd><kwd>интегральный индекс.</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>international trade</kwd><kwd>Europe</kwd><kwd>Africa</kwd><kwd>trade complementarity</kwd><kwd>global value chains</kwd><kwd>resilience</kwd><kwd>equivalence</kwd><kwd>composite index.</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Статья подготовлена в рамках НИР FMZS-2024-0010 «Механизмы продвижения стратегических интересов ключевых европейских акторов в странах Африки и Ближнего Востока: институты, принципы функционирования, прогнозы» Института Европы РАН.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The article has been prepared under the 2025 plan of the Institute of Europe RAS, Laboratory “Mechanisms for ensuring economic security in Europe: challenges to Russia’s national interests” (No. FMZS-2024-0010).</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Гурова, И.
