Abstract

The governments in Africa are paying special attention to regional integration policy. This focus was instigated by the greater benefits associated with regional integration. In addition to, the role of integration as a catalyst for economic growth, development, and insulation from global shocks has made the concept of regional integration even more attractive to states. This chapter offers an overview of the arguments and empirical observations that detail some of the successes, key setbacks, opportunities, and development policies the governments in Africa are pursuing in their quest to achieve regional integration.
