Reiss, Mariel,
Constructing the East African community : diffusion from African and European regional organizations / Mariel Reiss. - xv, 198 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 25 cm. - New regionalisms .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction -- Diffusion: Interdependence of Regional Organizations -- Problematization of the East African Community -- Construction of the East African Community -- The Impact of Positive Perception on Diffusion -- Conclusion.
"This book provides a systematic analysis of the establishment and decision-making processes concerning the institutional design of the East African Community (EAC) throughout the 1990s and discusses to what extent these were impacted and inspired by other regional organizations from Africa and Europe. Analysing the decision-making processes that led to the set-up of the EAC, the book explores the extent to which they were impacted by several other regional organizations, namely the Organization of African Unity (OAU), the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the European Union (EU), and the first EAC. The findings indicate that the relevant east African state and non-state actors adopted substantial aspects from the first EAC, the EU, and the COMESA and adapted them to set up the current EAC. This book demonstrates that the perception of other regional organizations and their institutional design considerably effected the construction of the EAC; here, its own past provided crucial learning objectives, which challenges the notion of mimicry or replica regional organizations of the EU in the Global South. This work will be of particular interest to scholars and students of regional and international organizations, international relations, multilevel governance approaches as well as diffusion literature"--
