Abstract

Theoretical Foundations for Comparative Regional Economic Blocs in African Contexts N/A A theoretical model is proposed to explain the emergence and evolution of REBs in Africa, with specific emphasis on their impact on regional integration and economic development. Further empirical research is recommended to validate the identified factors and refine the proposed theoretical model.
