Abstract: This volume is based on research in FERDI's program ‘Regional Integration, trade, competitivity and environment' under the direction of Anne-Marie Geourjon and coordinated by Jaime de Melo. The essays in the volume are destined to policy makers and observers of the pace of African integration. The emphasis is on cooperation, necessary for the provision of regional public goods (infrastructure like transport infrastructure), and on policies (trade, mobility of capital and people) affecting market integration, all in the hands of governments. The essays eschew technical discussions but rely on figures and tables to summarize the narrative.
