Economic Development Through Regional Trade (eBook, PDF)

A Role for the New East African Community?

Beschreibung

Post-colonial Africa is littered with regional trade agreements that amounted to little more than a photo opportunity for the leaders that signed them. This book explores conventional explanations for past failures and posits a new theory rooted in the symbiotic relationship between authoritarian politics and crony-capitalism.
