How Africa Trades examines the patterns, institutions and policy choices that shape trade across the African continent. Edited by David Luke, the book combines trade and investment data with analysis of negotiations and agreements, connecting questions about competitiveness and commodity dependence with the practical arrangements through which African economies engage with regional and international markets.
Chapters consider the African Continental Free Trade Area and other regional initiatives, alongside trading relationships with the European Union, China, the United States and the United Kingdom. The contributors also examine participation in the World Trade Organization. Their analyses explain how different rules, preferences and negotiating positions influence the opportunities available to African producers and traders.
The later chapters investigate the effects of COVID-19 on formal, informal and digital trade, bringing recent disruption into the wider account of long-term challenges. Figures, tables and supporting references accompany the discussion. The collection provides a substantial introduction to African trade policy for readers interested in economics, international commerce and the connections between trade arrangements and development.
