This edited volume focuses on economic integration, currency union, and
sustainable and inclusive growth in East Africa. It consists of twelve
interrelated studies that provide a comprehensive picture of the state
and determinants of economic development and cooperation among countries
in East Africa, such as Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania.
The contributions are grouped into five parts: economic integration and
its effects on trade; common currency and exchange rate; research,
innovation, and knowledge, and shadow economics and corruption;
inclusive and sustainable growth; and the conflict-growth nexus and
reconstruction. This book will appeal to scholars and decision makers
looking for the necessary tools and determinants of economic development
and cooperation in East Africa.
