The African Union has been a major factor in establishing peace,
security and development in Africa. Today, however, the
intranational body is struggling in the midst of a perceived
dissipating appetite for supporting continental institutions.
Previously seen as the panacea to Africa's continuing problems with
violence and corruption in society, under the slogan "African
Solutions to African Problems", the African Union, this book
argues, seems to have run its course. Recognizing that the measured
successes in political emancipation which have been recorded across
the African continent do not seem to have translated into economic
and social gains for its 1.2 billion citizens, the AU adopted a new
development framework dubbed "Agenda 2063". The framework calls on
African leaders to rediscover the `Pan African' spirit and to
create the `Africa Africans want'. In practice this means a new
focus and engagement with the African Diaspora, tapping into their
strong track-record in economic development. As this book shows
however, there remain deep differences over the meaning, timing and
sequencing of pan-African integration. Indeed, different member
states have different understandings of the role of the African
Union itself. This essential handbook, from one of the leading
research institutions on the continent, seeks to uncover what some
of those understandings are and why the unification project has
remained so elusive.
