The empirical analysis ranges from unions formed during the years following independence, to the proposed African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), which aims to remove trade barriers between all 55 African states. In addition, the book explores to what extent Africa's Regional Economic Communities (RECs) have advanced in accordance with a linear integration model of goods, labor and capital markets. The book subsequently evaluates the suitability of the European model of deep integration with costly institutions for the conditions specific to Africa, considering, for example, the role of informal and non-recorded trade. Stylized cases of regional division of labour with increasing returns and imperfect competition are introduced to support the economic integration logic. Past and current economic policies in Africa are scrutinized to answer the question: how can African regions best foster new manufacturing industries and value chains across the continent? In conclusion, the book outlines content and processes of Common Industrial Policy in the African regions. The book also addresses the controversial issue of international trade agreements between developing countries and the European Union or the USA and investigates whether these agreements impede or promote economic development in Africa. The book includes a detailed roadmap describing how to improve key clauses of agreements for economic partnership in the interest of African countries. In closing, it outlines a new vision of joint sustainable development for Africa and Europe. 001437450 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed June 29, 2021). 001437450 650_0 $$aSustainable development$$zAfrica. 001437450 650_0 $$aTrade blocs$$zAfrica. 001437450 650_6 $$aDéveloppement durable$$zAfrique. 001437450 650_6 $$aBlocs commerciaux$$zAfrique. 001437450 651_0 $$aAfrica$$xEconomic conditions. 001437450 651_6 $$aAfrique$$xConditions économiques. 001437450 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001437450 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030753654$$z9783030753658$$w(OCoLC)1245656049 001437450 830_0 $$aAdvances in African economic, social and political development,$$x2198-7262 001437450 852__ $$bebk 001437450 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-75366-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001437450 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1437450$$pGLOBAL_SET 001437450 980__ $$aBIB 001437450 980__ $$aEBOOK 001437450 982__ $$aEbook 001437450 983__ $$aOnline 001437450 994__ $$a92$$bISE
