Author: Vusi Gumede, Samuel Ojo Oloruntoba, Serges Djoyou Kamga Category: Books (Others), Books at the Centre Publisher: BRILL Published: March 27, 2025
Description:
This comparative book debates migration and regional integration in the two regional economic blocs, namely the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The book takes a historical and nuanced citizenship approach to integration by analyzing regional integration from the perspective of non-state actors and how they negotiate various structures and institutions in their pursuit for life and livelihood in a contemporary context marked by mobility and economic fragmentation.
