      abstract = {This volume offers systematic research on regionalism in  Africa and explores the role and impact of external  partners on the dynamics, institutional design, and  performance of regional integration projects. It  acknowledges and elaborates the multilevel and  multidimensional nature of regionalism, with its variety of  cooperative institutions and policy areas, while closely  considering uneven relationships to external actors in  African regional organizations. The books two comprehensive  mapping studies examine patterns of asymmetric  inter-dependence between regionalism in Africa and external  partners in Europe, with a focus on trade and donor  funding, and highlight structural imbalances and  (un)intended consequences. Five additional case studies  provide in-depth analyses of a variety of African regional  organizations, mainly with a focus on security regionalism,  and elaborate how external partners influence and affect  integration processes and projects. Although regionalism in  Africa benefitted from external relations and partnerships  with Europe, contributions in this volume question this  positive impression, highlighting some of the major  undermining factors and actors. Johannes Muntschick is a  researcher and lecturer in the Department of Political  Science at the Johannes Gutenberg-Universitat Mainz,  Germany. His research and teaching experience lies in the  fields of international relations theory, international  institutions, and regionalism in the Global South.},
