The papers presented are included in this volume: Mukhisa Kituyi analyses the East African integration process from a historical perspective.; Bonabana-Wabbi et al. review agricultural policies in the EAC; Rose Fidélité Ndayishimiye analyses the implications of Economic Partnership Agreements with the EU on the EAC's fragile economies; Félicien Usengumukiza addresses the issue of foreign direct investment and investment opportunities in East Africa; Nahashon Aderon and Eric Aligula identify some of the challenges facing the transport infrastructure in the East African region; and Luke Olumu explains the status and effects on non-tariff barriers on trade between Uganda and other countries. In a concluding chapter, George Omondi discusses institutional arrangements for a research-policy nexus at the regional level. | en_US |
