โฆ Synopsis
Debates as to what African economic integration and development actually entails rage across international economic organizations, national government and NGOs the world over. Despite the glare of media attention and the position, this issue has on international political agendas, few comprehensive accounts exist that fully examine why this process will be an inevitable in the 21st century, and how integration of national economies can be attuned to attaining the socio-economic goals and aspirations of member-countries. This book addresses this problem. It combines theory with application, enumerating the imperatives and initiatives governments will be forced to confront; providing insights for educators and students in African development, for policy makers in African governments, and for inter-governmental organizations.
