The issues of monetary coordination, foreign exchange volatility, taxation, savings and macroeconomic convergence are investigated from a regional perspective.  The characteristics of West Africa’s trade policy are reviewed and assessed in comparison to those of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The extent to which regional integration can tackle the challenge of unemployment is the focus of studies on labour markets. Development of the private sector and coordination of regional cross-border transportation are examined through the lens of economic collaboration between Arab and African countries.  The book provides fresh new answers to persistent development questions and sheds new light on long-held views that are either incomplete or no longer true. It also opens new perspectives on the search for sustainable avenues for Africa’s development. In this regard, it may contribute to the emergence of a new paradigm on Africa’s development process and its science-based, policy-oriented implementation.Advances in African Economic, Social and Political Development,2198-7262Development economicsRegional economicsSpatial economicsDevelopment Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000Regional/Spatial Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49000Development economics.Regional economics.Spatial economics.Development Economics.Regional/Spatial Science.338.966Seck Dieryedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910298540003321Regional Economic Integration in West Africa2495395UNINAseries checked cem
