About the Book

Since the turn of the 21st century, many governments in Africa have focused their attention on regional integration and policy. The emphasis on these two areas has been instigated by the greater monetary benefits associated with regional integration. The role of integration as a catalyst for economic growth, development and insulation from global shocks has made the concept of regional integration even more attractive to states. This book contains compelling arguments and empirical observations that detail some of the key opportunities that governments in Africa are pursuing in their quest to achieve regional integration. It also offers insights into the development policies that governments on the continent are implementing to achieve regional integration. This diverse volume provides a variety of contributions on regional integration and policy in Africa, which make it indispensable reading for scholars, researchers, students, policy-makers and professionals.
