The Multiplicty of Decision-Making in Africa's Interacting Markets - Cluster Project

Abstract

Abstract

Project Presentation: "Multiplicity in Decision-Making of Africa’s Interacting Markets: The Functioning of Community Law, the Role of Market Participants and the Power of Regional Judges (MuDAIMa)"


Many African States are members of more than one regional community whose objectives and declared aims are economic, legal and/or political integration. Tanzania, for instance, is both member of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and of the East African Community (EAC), but not of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), whereas other EAC and SADC members are equally COMESA members. Thus, it is commonplace that multiple, overlapping and potentially competing economic, legal and political affiliations influence the status quo of regional integration. Due to the nature of regional integration, the MuDAIMa project aims at a truly transdisciplinary analysis of the entangled integration situations and its relational implications by combining economics, law and political science.


Prof. Dr. Alexander Stroh-Steckelberg, Diana Kisaye and Dr. Raymond Frempong present the project that is part of the research profile of the Africa Multiple Cluster of Excellence.
