ECOWAS Protocol on Free Movement and the AfCFTA in West Africa

Costs, Benefits and Challenges

Herausgegeben: Okunade, Samuel Kehinde; Ogunnubi, Olusola

Beschreibung

This book discusses the phenomenon of regional integration in Africa and the ensuing discourse on the intercontinental free trade agreement within the continent. Long before the move for the facilitation of free trade in Africa, freedom of movement by Africans within Africa backed up by the AU Protocol on free movement of persons has been in existence and in one way or the other both moves are closely related. The book explores the existing relationships between the ECOWAS Protocol on free movement, goods and services and AfCFTA on one hand and the impact of the implementation and non-implementation of these policies on West Africa on the other hand.
