Workshop on the Cost of Non-integration in Africa
 Date: June 18–20, 2007
 Location: Marrakech, Morocco

Our second workshop, held June 18–20 in Marrakech, focused on the cost of non-integration in Africa. Specifically, participants explored the following questions:

  • What are the costs of non-integration in economic, political, security, social, and cultural terms?
  • How can we explain the successes and failures of different regional integration efforts?
  • How does non-integration affect the lives of ordinary Africans?
  • What precisely does a balkanized Africa lose in relations with major world powers?
  • How does non-integration impinge on Africa’s role within the global economic and political systems?
  • What methodological approaches are most suitable for tracking and assessing the costs of non-integration?
  • How can researchers more effectively communicate their analyses of non-integration to policy makers and the general public?
