Description
Summary:It pays particular attention to the cyclicality of integration dynamics, as well as the analysis of the interconnection and competition between different regional organizations in East Africa. In this context, the specificity of the so-called overlapping membership of African states in regional organizations with similar roles but conflicting treaties and mandates is explored. This situation to a certain extent affects trade relations of states in the region with external actors specifically with the EU that the book comprehensively analyses. This book therefore offers a deeper understanding of the processes of regional integration in East Africa, previously overlooked reflecting the general integration dynamics on the African continent.
