The book explores innovative and context-driven political and legal policy measures to expand the powers of the African Union (AU) for continental integration. It addresses issues of context, political will, and inclusive approaches as essential elements. Africa is currently experiencing efforts to grant the AU broader powers to coordinate and create binding rules, similar to the European Union. The book argues that the success of these processes depends on the existence of quality-driven institutions.

The African Union (AU) is a continental organization that seeks to expand its powers in order to drive the continental integration process. This book explores innovative and context-driven political and legal policy measures designed to achieve this goal. The book addresses issues of context, political will, and innovative and inclusive approaches as essential elements that must be considered. Africa is currently experiencing one of the most critical phases of its integrative development, and there have been increasing efforts to develop policies and practices that grant the AU broader powers to coordinate and create binding rules regarding the regional integration process. This has included the decision to finance the AU through a 0.2% tax on eligible imports into member states, the decision to reduce the number of AU Commission portfolios from eight to six, the adoption and entry into force of the African Continental Free Trade Area, the adoption of the Protocol to the Treaty Establishing the African Economic Community Relating to Free Movement of Persons, Right to Residence and Right of Establishment, and the adoption of the AU Agenda 2063 policy framework in 2015. The book argues that how these processes will change the direction of regional integration in Africa largely depends on the existence of quality-driven institutions.
