Integrating Africa: Perspectives on Regional Integration and Development

The book explores how  regional integration in today’s globalized world can strengthen development and security in Africa as well as the continent's participation in the global economy. Contributions include speeches and presentations made at the 2002 Africa Day Symposium on “Integrating Africa,” organized by UNU in collaboration with the African Diplomatic Corps, Tokyo, as well as articles by researchers and experts on African development.

Together, the contributions deal with many different aspects and varieties of regional integration in Africa, and examine their role in African development.
