| book description |

Regional integration was identified many years ago as being critical to Africaâ€™s quest to overcome its colonially induced underdevelopment. To encourage this, several potentially significant programmes or projects have been stillborn or inadequately implemented. A network of relatively stable Regional Economic Communities (RECs) has been established, and one of its most ambitious initiatives â€“ the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) â€“ is now being â€˜operationalisedâ€™. Written in the context of a global economy emerged in stagflation â€“ a combination of stagnation and inflation â€“ this book provides a deeper insight into pertinent conceptual and theoretical issues of vital importance to Africaâ€™s development. It also presents case studies of several of the RECs, as well as the processes involved in constructing the AfCFTA. The subject matter of this book includes â€“ African lingua franca and African knowledge systems The African Centres for Disease Control and Prevention Regional integration: Mission impossible?
