A Political Economy of African Regionalisms - An Overview of Asymmetrical Development (Hardcover)

Providing an assessment of regional frameworks in Africa, this timely book looks at how regional cooperation among countries in Africa has intensified over the last 30 years. The authors explore how unequal power relations and unequal levels of development among partner states influence these frameworks. Analysing the main factors influencing the political economy of Africa's asymmetrical regionalism, chapters focus on regional and sub-regional trade, investment, and the movement of people and services. Wil Hout and M.A. Mohamed Salih pay particular attention to the ways in which regional and sub-regional dynamics are impacted by extra-regional relations. Peace and security are also analysed as important factors shaping relations and dynamics, demonstrating that African regionalism is influenced by more than economic processes. Political economy and development studies scholars will benefit from the data-rich analysis in the book. It will also be a valuable read for policy makers and advisors involved in regional cooperation in and with African regions.
