Omschrijving
From freedom of movement to customs-free commerce, two experts show how the AfCFTA could transform African economies and societies.
'"Borderless Africa" unpacks data on intra-African trade to reveal that this under-researched subject holds the clue to understanding the changing trajectory of development in Africa.'
'An illuminating insight into the African integration question, reminding us that Africa's integration is not a given; it will always be a struggle against the great forces of internal and external geopolitics. A timely and welcome addition to the seminal works on this subject.'
‘The book does some beautiful myth-busting about intra-African trade.’
'"Borderless Africa" is the sort of book our forefathers--the ones who dreamed of regional integration and the AfCFTA--would have wanted the world to read. The positive statistics combined with rich history tell the true story and value of Africa to the global business community.'
'A clear roadmap of the possible pitfalls and opportunities that would ultimately hinder or deliver the African dream of a single market, presenting the promise and challenges of that prospect with realistic clarity. An excellent volume.'
'"Borderless Africa" explores the intricacies and provides a clear view of the possibilities and challenges of intra-African trade within the AfCFTA. A must-read for policy-makers.'
'A robust and optimistic illustration of regional integration in Africa. This seminal text makes a forceful case for the AfCFTA as the region's most effective and practical approach to holistically growing the role Africans play in today and tomorrow's global arena.'
'Francis Mangeni and Andrew Mold offer great insights into Africa's novel programme of continental economic integration. I fully endorse this book and recommend it to general readers as well as policy-makers and -implementers.'
'"Borderless Africa" is the first work to systematically explore all the economic arguments for the AfCFTA, and also the first to take its genesis back to its African intellectual roots. An excellent and timely book.'
'Intra-regional trade has a major role to play in allowing Africa to achieve its abundant growth-potential, particularly in an era of increasing global trade tensions. This informative, insightful and challenging book is an essential read for policy-makers, researchers and students.'
'Mangeni and Mold delve into the opportunities that the AfCFTA offers. I wholeheartedly endorse this book as a guide and a must-read for anyone dreaming of participating in Africa's most aggressive vision of economic development.'
'Beyond African economic integration, the book offers a thorough, wide-ranging and rigorously backed African economic history, with lots of myth-busting, global comparisons and a wide evidence base. It makes a compelling case for a borderless Africa in an optimistic but realistic light.'
Francis Mangeni is the Coordinator of Regional Advisors on the African Continental Free Trade Area, and former COMESA director of trade, customs and monetary affairs. Andrew Mold is Senior Economist at the UN Economic Commission for Africa, and has worked at the UN in Chile, Costa Rica, Ethiopia and Rwanda.
