Leading scholars and practitioners come together to analyze a range of entwined topics, including: the theoretical underpinnings that have informed Africa's regional integration trajectory; the political economy of integration, including the sources of different 'waves' of integration in pan-Africanism and the reaction to neo-liberal economic pressures; the complexities of integration in a context of weak states and the informal regionalization that often occurs in 'borderlands'; the increasing salience of Africa's relationships with rising extra-regional economic powers, including China and India; and comparative lessons from non-African regional blocs, including the EU, ASEAN, and the Southern Common Market. A core argument of this book, running through all chapters, is that region-building must be recognized as a political project as much as if not more than an economic one; successful region-building in Africa will need to include the complex political tasks of strengthening state capacity (including states' capacity as 'developmental states' that can actively engage in economic planning), resolving long-standing conflicts over resources and political dominance, improving democratic governance, and developing trans-national political structures that are legitimate and inclusive. 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aAfrica?Politics and government 606 $aRegional economics 606 $aSpatial economics 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aPolitical economy 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aInternational Relations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912000 606 $aAfrican Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911090 606 $aRegional/Spatial Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49000 606 $aDevelopment Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913010 606 $aInternational Political Economy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 607 $aAfrica$xEconomic integration 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aAfrica?Politics and government. 615 0$aRegional economics. 615 0$aSpatial economics. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aPolitical economy. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 14$aInternational Relations. 615 24$aAfrican Politics. 615 24$aRegional/Spatial Science. 615 24$aDevelopment Theory. 615 24$aInternational Political Economy. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 676 $a320.54096 702 $aLevine$b Daniel H$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aNagar$b Dawn$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255302803321 996 $aRegion-Building in Africa$92499268 997 $aUNINA
