Excellent- More about Flexible Regional Economic Integration in Africa: Lessons and Implications for the Multilateral Trading System
This book explores the relationship between flexible regional economic integration in the East African Community (EAC) and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and the establishment of a continent-wide form of integration. It argues that regional integration efforts in Africa are based on pan-Africanist ideals and that an evolution of these ideals has led to an evolution in the goals of integration.

This book delves into the intricate relationship between flexible regional economic integration within the East African Community (EAC) and the establishment of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) as a continent-wide form of integration. Through a comprehensive historical, political, legal, and economic analysis, it explores the processes that led to the adoption of flexible regional integration in Africa, with a particular focus on the EAC. This study takes place within the broader context of pan-Africanism, highlighting how regional integration efforts in Africa are rooted in pan-Africanist ideals and how these ideals have evolved over time to shape the goals of integration. Recognizing the limitations and impracticality of consensus-based decision-making on a global scale, the book advocates for the pursuit of flexibility in multilateral trade, drawing valuable lessons from the experience of the AfCFTA and other regional blocs. This book serves as a historical evaluation of regional economic integration efforts in Africa, tracing the trajectory of attempts to unite the continent's economies from colonial times to the birth of the AfCFTA. While it primarily focuses on legal aspects, it relies heavily on politics, economics, and history to construct a more comprehensive theory of economic integration based on the African experience. Notably, Flexible Regional Economic Integration in Africa received the prestigious 2020 SIEL–Hart Prize in International Economic Law, recognizing its significant contributions to the field.
