Seminar on "comparative analysis of the commitments under the treaty establishing the African Economic Community (AEC) and agreements of the Uruguay round of multilateral trade negotiations" : report of the Seminar

Abstract

In spite of the multilateral trading system, there was an increasing regionalized approach to trade, and in some instances to economic development all over the world as manifested in the formation of free trade areas, custom unions, common markets etc. In the case of Africa, the establishment of the African Economic Community was planned to be the climax of various endeavours at the sub regional levels towards economic cooperation, ultimately aiming at integration of the countries involved.
