Intricacies of the African Integration Process

The integration process of the African continent is an unfulfilled promise that continues to attract an immense interest but sees little progress. The last six decades since the launch of an African integration project saw the establishment of different regional and continental institutions that try to push the integration forward, but lack the necessary ammunition to do so. This book is an account of the different challenges the African integration process faced since the 1950s with a view to argue that it is imperative for the continent's leaders and institutions to pull efforts together to solve the challenges. New initiatives that continue to be manufactured by the African Union and Regional Economic Communities remain relevant as far as they contribute to tackling the challenges the integration process faces without imposing new responsibilities.
