Details

This book provides a comprehensive assessment of African economic integration through the lens of International Economic Law. The analysis is contextualized within the prevailing regional economic integrations, the WTO and the peculiarity of AfCFTA.

Through legal analysis, bolstered by economic and political dimensions of AfCFTA, the book illustrates the complex interplay of diverse factors that shape AfCFTA. Each chapter presents a separate element of economic integration within the principles of international economic law, with an interdisciplinary approach encompassing legal, economic and political perspectives. Covering topics such as economic integration and multilateralism, market access, exceptions, trade facilitation, rules of origin, non-tariff barriers, the book also discusses trade remedies, dispute settlement, investment, intellectual property, and completion policy. Additionally, human rights, corporate social responsibility, and sustainable development principles are discussed, alongside small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), digital trade and gender in economic integration.

The book will be of interest to students, instructors, practitioners and non-practitioners in this area of international economic law.
