This book discusses regional and continental integration in Africa
by examining the management of migration across the continent. It
examines borders and securitisation of migration and the challenges
and opportunities that arise out of reconfigured continental
demographics. The book offers insights on intra-Africa migrations
and highlights how intra-continental migration creates
socio-economic and cultural borders. It explores how these borders,
beyond the physical boundaries of states, including the Berlin
Conference-constructed borders, create cultural divides, challenges
for economic integration and cross-border security, and irregular
migration patterns. While the movement of economic goods is valued
for regional economic integration, the mobility of people is seen
as a threat. This approach to migration contradicts the intentions
of true integration and development, and triggers negative
responses such as xenophobia that cannot be addressed by simply
managing the physical border and allowing free movement. This book
engages in a pivotal discussion of these issues, which are hitherto
missing in African border studies, by demonstrating the ubiquity
and overreaching influence of various kinds of borders on the
African continent. With multidisciplinary contributions that
provide an in-depth understanding of intra-Africa migrations and
strategies for enhanced migration management, this book will be a
useful resource for scholars and students studying geography,
politics, security studies, development studies, African studies
and sociology.
