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. 410 0$aAdvances in African Economic, Social and Political Development,$x2198-7262 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aRegional economics 606 $aSpatial economics 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aRegional/Spatial Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49000 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aRegional economics. 615 0$aSpatial economics. 615 14$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aRegional/Spatial Science. 676 $a338.966 702 $aSeck$b Diery$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298540003321 996 $aRegional Economic Integration in West Africa$92495395 997 $aUNINA 999 $aseries checked cem
