A chapter in Negotiating South-South Regional Trade Agreements, 2017, pp 159-165 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The central role of South–South RTAs in the workings of African economies cannot be overemphasized. It provides strategic and significantly productive investment opportunities for the African businesses by increasing the benefits to regional trade liberalization and contributing to job creation, wealth accumulation and macroeconomic transformation. This concluding chapter briefly examines the basic pitfalls in Africa-related South–South RTAs processes, and also presents the understanding for South–South RTAs research agenda as well as the motivation for relevant economic policy direction in Africa.
