<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Offering an examination of the diplomatic and economic regional power structures in Africa and their relationships with each other, Dawn Nagar discusses the potential and future of pan-Africanism. The three primary regional economic communities (RECs) that are recognised by the African Union as the key building blocks of a united Africa are examined - these are the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), the East African Community (EAC) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC). These RECS include Africa's major economies - Egypt, South Africa, and Kenya but are also home to Africa's most conflict prone and volatile states - the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Burundi, South Sudan, Somalia and Lesotho. <br/>Providing a detailed overview of the current relationship between these power blocs, this book provides insight into the current state of diplomatic and economic relations within Africa and shows how far there is to go for a future of Pan-Africanism.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A timely and relevant book given the trade, economic and security trends currently re-framing the African continent.<br/>Professor Tim Murithi, Extraordinary Professor of African Studies, University of the Free State<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Dawn Nagar </b>is Senior Researcher at the Centre for Conflict Resolution at Cape Town. <br>She is co-editor of <i>Region-Building in Africa: Political and Economic Challenges</i> with Daniel H.
