 Consequences of Economic Integration Initiatives in Africa: Trade in the IGAD RegionEwa Cieślik ()
A chapter in Economic Integration, Currency Union, and Sustainable and Inclusive Growth in East Africa, 2016, pp 11-40 from Springer Abstract: Abstract The process of close integration in Eastern Africa has resulted in changes in trade structures and production processes across borders. This paper presents the transformations taking place in trade exchange in one of the initiatives of the African community: the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD). This paper offers a multidimensional analysis of the changes in foreign trade structures of IGAD states, for example, trade creation effects, changes in competitiveness, trade concentration or the similarities of IGAD’s trade with selected economic integration communities in Sub-Saharan Africa. In order to ensure uniformity in this analysis, the study is based on data compiled by international organizations, mainly the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and the World Trade Organization (WTO).
