The Quest for Unity: An Appraisal of Regional Integration in Africa

Regional integration was identified many years ago as being critical to Africas quest to overcome its colonially induced underdevelopment. To encourage this, several potentially significant programmes or projects have been stillborn or inadequately implemented. A network of relatively stable Regional Economic Communities (RECs) has been established, and one of its most ambitious initiatives the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is now being operationalised. Written in the context of a global economy emerged in stagflation a combination of stagnation and inflation this book provides a deeper insight into pertinent conceptual and theoretical issues of vital importance to Africas development. It also presents case studies of several of the RECs, as well as the processes involved in constructing the AfCFTA.
