This volume examines the failure of regional integration and cooperation to date in West Africa and explores some of the more holistic and economically liberal options for revitalization. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
Pour traiter les grands problèmes qui se posent aux pays africains, l'échelon national est de moins en moins pertinent. Le niveau régional apparait même comme le seul réaliste pour parvenir à une véritable émergence. Pour transformer la région en véritable « force » économique l'architecture générale de l'intégration doit être simplifiée et les structures régionales renforcées. Pour jouer leur rôle de pôle d'organisation, 5 mesures sont essentielles, au plan interne comme au plan international. Face à ces défis, des opportunités considérables se présentent à l'Afrique. Les saisir impliquerait cependant un changement d'attitude dans la manière de négocier l'insertion de l'Afrique dans la mondialisation.
Could regional integration be a first step toward joining the global market? In a context where liberalizing trade has not produced the expected gains in developing countries and growth in global trade has not led to the expected economic growth, an alternative solution has emerged. This new paradigm suggests that trade liberalization should be accompanied by public investment. However, by its very nature, trade liberalization leads to a reduction in revenues from duties and taxes, which means that the available resources for public investments will also be reduced. There are now solid arguments for encouraging the less-developed countries to first emphasize regional integration before trying to access the global market. This book explores the issues linked to regional integration in West Africa and presents empirical data about the experiences in = West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) countries to converge their economies. It also examines how these efforts, which make a major contribution to regional integration, influence poverty reduction in the economic and monetary community. It will be of interest to researchers working in this area. Elias T.

The "African Yearbook of International Law" provides an intellectual forum for the systematic analysis and scientific dissection of issues of international law as they apply to Africa, as well as Africa's contribution to the progressive development of international law. It contributes to the promotion, acceptance of and respect for the principles of international law, as well as to the encouragement of the teaching, study, dissemination and wider appreciations of international law in Africa. A clear articulation of Africa's views on the various aspects of international law based on the present realities of the continent as well as on Africa's civilization, culture, philosophy and history will undoubtedly contribute to a better understanding among nations. The "African Yearbook of International Law" plays an important role in examining the tensions underlying the State in Africa, and by shedding more light on the causes of the fragility of African State institutions so as to facilitate the identification of appropriate remedies. The tension and interrelationships among issues such as territorial integrity, self determination, ethnic diversity and nation-building are constantly addressed. Development, human rights and democratization in Africa are also the subject of continuous attention and examination. The Special Theme of this volume is "Regional Economic Integration in Africa,"
Afin de faire face aux risques et aux nouveaux défis de la globalisation, les économies ont essayé de renforcer leur intégration régionale en construisant de nouveaux regroupements régionaux ou en impulsant une nouvelle dynamique aux regroupements existants. Un large mouvement d'intégration régionale a pris corps dans les différentes régions de la planète avec la consolidation de l'Union Européenne, le lancement du MERCOSUR, la mise en place de l'ALENA en Amérique du Nord ou le renforcement de l'ASEAN pour les pays asiatiques. L'Afrique n'est pas restée en dehors de ce mouvement. Le parcours de l'intégration régionale en Afrique centrale a été à l'image de celui du continent, même si le processus n'a pas été aussi loin que dans d'autres régions. L'Afrique centrale s'est dotée, dès les indépendances, d'institutions qui ont fonctionné jusqu'au début des années 1980. Ce processus connaîtra un ralentissement marqué durant cette période. Un arrêt d'autant plus important que l'Afrique centrale a été la région la plus touchée par les conflits. Cependant, cette traversée de désert ne durera pas longtemps et dès le début des années 1990, le processus d'intégration régionale en Afrique centrale sera relancé. Ainsi, la CEMAC a été créée en mars 1994 pour approfondir et renforcer l'effort d'intégration déjà entamé par l'UDEAC. Par ailleurs, en 1998 les Chefs d'États de l'Afrique centrale ont décidé de relancer la CEEAC. Cet ouvrage constitue une contribution à la réflexion sur les questions d'intégration régionale en Afrique centrale. Il reprend les travaux du Bureau de l'Afrique Centrale de la Commission Économique des Nations Unies pour l'Afrique dont le siège est à Yaoundé au Cameroun et qui a appuyé le processus d'intégration dans la sous-région. Il reprend également les contributions présentées par des experts de la sous-région lors d'un séminaire organisé par la CEA-AC en préparation au Forum Africain sur le Développement organisé en mars 2002 par la Commission Économique des Nations Unies pour l'Afrique, à Addis-Abeba, autour du thème de l'intégration régionale en Afrique.
The views and perspectives adopted by A.I. Asiwaju and D. Bach appear sufficiently distinct, yet they converge on several key issues: i.e., the informal achievement of regionalization in Africa through kinship and other non-state networks; the resistance of Africans to boundaries inherited from the colonial period; and the consequences of the arbitrariness of these boundaries. Anyone who has ever crossed the Seme border between the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Republic of Benin cannot but subscribe to the perceptions shared by the two authors. Whatever the purpose of the trip, travellers crossing the border share the experience of being in a lawless area: the occasional traveller who behaves suspiciously will immediately attract the attention of the immigration officer who begins to search through his papers scrupulously, looking for any error; on the other hand, the market woman, who knows the system, crosses with ease. The popularization of these border scenes by novels and video productions is significant evidence of the intensity of transborder movements in West Africa, and of the constraints as well as the resources offered by the borders. This dual reality of what appears as an obstacle to the implementation of institutionalized regional integration schemes and as the booster of an informal market-driven trade flow, is widely documented and discussed in the two papers.
