The African Union (AU) has committed to a vision of Africa that is 'integrated, prosperous and peaceful - driven by its own citizens, a dynamic force in the global arena' (Vision and Mission of the African Union, May 2004). This guide is an effort to take up the challenge of achieving this vision. It is a tool to assist activists to engage with AU policies and programmes. It describes the AU decision-making process and outlines the roles and responsibilities of the AU institutions. It also contains a sampling of the experiences of those non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that have interacted with the AU.

The African Union has been a major factor in establishing peace, security and development in Africa. Today, however, the intranational body is struggling in the midst of a perceived dissipating appetite for supporting continental institutions. Previously seen as the panacea to Africa's continuing problems with violence and corruption in society, under the slogan "African Solutions to African Problems", the African Union, this book argues, seems to have run its course. Recognizing that the measured successes in political emancipation which have been recorded across the African continent do not seem to have translated into economic and social gains for its 1.2 billion citizens, the AU adopted a new development framework dubbed "Agenda 2063". The framework calls on African leaders to rediscover the `Pan African' spirit and to create the `Africa Africans want'. In practice this means a new focus and engagement with the African Diaspora, tapping into their strong track-record in economic development. As this book shows however, there remain deep differences over the meaning, timing and sequencing of pan-African integration. Indeed, different member states have different understandings of the role of the African Union itself. This essential handbook, from one of the leading research institutions on the continent, seeks to uncover what some of those understandings are and why the unification project has remained so elusive--Publisher's website.

This book examines the role of the African Union in relation to African agency in international politics. It examines the manner and extent to which the African Union exercises two forms of agencyshirking and slippagein its strategic and collaborative partnerships. The author focuses on four major AU partnerships with the European Union, NATO, the United Nations and US AFRICOM. The books examines African agency in each partnership by exploring the politics and dynamics of each partnership in different aspects: the multilevel engagement, institutionalization, resource contribution and disbursement, as well as preference linkage. It specifically does that by examining African ownership and leadership in all of these aspects. The book highlights the role of agency slack as a survival strategy to escape from the AUs subaltern position in international politics. It designates the partnership with the European Union as emblematic of African agency; while the others exhibit different forms of agency slack. Partnerships with NATO and the United Nations exhibit shirking, while that with the US AFRICOM exhibits slippage.

Les disparités entre les 53 pays du continent africain sont telles qu’il paraît bien difficile, à première vue, de comprendre les grandes questions politiques sans tomber dans les généralisations abusives et les idées reçues. Le professeur Mamoudou Gazibo réussit pourtant à présenter les grands enjeux de l’Afrique depuis les années d’indépendance, en privilégiant une approche transversale qui tient compte tout à la fois de la diversité et des questions communes. Dans un souci pédagogique exemplaire, cet ouvrage aborde tour à tour la nature de l’État, l’autoritarisme, les déterminants des conflits, les processus de démocratisation, les tentatives de développement, les politiques d’intégration et la construction de l’Union africaine. Dans cette deuxième édition, l’intégration fait l’objet de deux chapitres (politique et économique) et un nouveau chapitre est consacré aux défis posés à la relation traditionnelle de l’Afrique avec l’Occident au regard de l’intérêt croissant que lui témoigne la Chine.
