From the early visions of Pan-Africanism to today's African Union and the African Continental Free Trade Area, regional integration has been repeatedly advanced as a pathway to development, resilience, and global relevance. Yet progress has been uneven, and the promise of integration has often remained only partially fulfilled. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Africa's Quest for Deeper Integration, Joseph Atta-Mensah offers a comprehensive and reflective examination of Africa's integration agenda as a development strategy. Drawing on decades of experience in economic policymaking and regional institutions, the book traces the evolution of integration efforts across trade, infrastructure, finance, macroeconomic coordination, and institutional cooperation. It goes beyond aspiration to ask hard questions about implementation, political economy, capacity constraints, and the gap between commitments and outcomes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book situates regional and continental integration within Africa's broader development challenges, including industrialisation, job creation, vulnerability to external shocks, and the need for greater economic sovereignty. It highlights both achievements and shortcomings, and identifies the conditions under which integration can deliver tangible benefits for African economies and citizens.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 626\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.26 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 07, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48628623376605,"sku":"9789988958176","price":56.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/CwgEa-euWo9789988958176.webp?v=1789782688","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/africas-quest-for-deeper-integration-policy-options-for-the-future-of-regional-integration-in-africa-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
