Economic Development Through Regional Trade: A Role for the New East African Community?

by May Yeung, Nicholas Perkidis, Kato Kimbugwe, et al.

Book Overview

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.
