The African Union (AU) is a continental organization that
comprises every African state except for Morocco, is indeed a
pioneering undertaking. Its ambitious aim is to integrate all
member states, with the ultimate goal of forming the United States
of Africa. Despite several attempts to build a union, the AU has
remained an intergovernmental organization, one reason being a
perceived unwillingness of the AU states to pool their national
sovereignties.
This study seeks to comprehend why Africa s integration process
has not moved towards a supranational organization, using a novel
approach. It shifts the usual perspective away from the
organization level and provides the first comprehensive and
systematic analysis of the AU from the perspective of the states
themselves. It includes 8 comprehensive case studies: Algeria,
Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Mauritius, South African, Swaziland, Uganda
and Zimbabwe to help understand their foreign policy and provide
key insights into why they are (un)willing to yield
sovereignty.
This work will be of great interest to students and scholars of
African politics, international relations and international
organizations.
