"This book is a magnum opus for everyone interested in regional integration. It is the only text that comprehensively traces and puts into proper conceptual, theoretical corpus and historical trajectory the evolution of integration of the East African Region." - Korwa Gombe Adar, Professor of International Studies, University of Botswana, Gaborone, Botswana. "A timely reference for researchers and policy makers" - Kasaija Phillip Apuuli, Associate Professor, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda. "This book offers a rich, fresh, century historical in-depth analysis of Regional Integration in East Africa filling a gap on African Integration literature." - Alexander BALEZIN, Professor, Dr. of Science, Principal researcher - Institute of World History, Russian Academy of Sciences. This book presents a comprehensive historical analysis of regional integration in the East Africa sub-region in the last century. It pays particular attention to the cyclicality of integration dynamics, as well as the analysis of the interconnection and competition between different regional organizations in East Africa. In this context, the specificity of the so-called overlapping membership of African states in regional organizations with similar roles but conflicting treaties and mandates is explored. This situation to a certain extent affects trade relations of states in the region with external actors specifically with the EU that the book comprehensively analyses. This book therefore offers a deeper understanding of the processes of regional integration in East Africa, previously overlooked reflecting the general integration dynamics on the African continent.

This book discusses the prospects for the development of the African continent as part of the emerging system of international relations in the twenty-first century. African countries are playing an increasingly important part in the current system of international relations. Nevertheless, even 60 years after gaining their independence, most of them are confronted with regional and global issues that are directly related to their colonial past and its influence. Due to Africa's wealth of natural and geopolitical resources, the possibility of interference in the internal affairs of African countries on the part of new and traditional global actors remains very real. Leading Africanists, together with international scholars from both international relations and African studies, examine the experience of decolonization, the impact of the emergence of a unipolar world on the African continent, and the growing influence of new international actors on the African continent in the twenty-first century. In addition, the importance of African countries' foreign policy concepts and ideological attitudes in the post-bipolar period is revealed. "This volume strengthens the intellectual bridge between Russian, African and Western scholars of international relations. Strongly recommended!" Vladimir G. Shubin, Institute for African Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences "This book presents a wide range of prominent global scholars who bring a wealth of knowledge on the subject of Africa and the world." Gilbert Khadiagala, Jan Smuts Professor of International Relations and Director of the African Centre for the Study of the USA (ACSUS) at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. "As a genuine contribution to the field of international relations and Global South Agency, this book should be in every institution of higher education's library." Lembe Tiky, Director of Academic Development, International Studies Association.
