The EAC is an intergovernmental organization consisting of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda, with South Sudan joining since 2016. It is the oldest and most advanced regional integration scheme in Africa, with a history of integration and a promising future. The book argues that while Europes history may provide insights for EAC member states, the EAC experience could also offer lessons for the European Union. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 208 pages\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25 May 2021\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis comprehensive book brings together a diverse group of African and European experts from various disciplines to explore the origins, development, and current state of the East African Community (EAC).
