Ende der 70er Jahre scheiterte der Versuch einer East African Community (EAC), nun soll sie wiederbelebt werden. Die Artikelsammlung diskutiert die Gründe, die zum Scheitern von 1977 führten und untersucht die Chancen und Risiken eines Neubeginns. Jeweils ein Artikel referiert die kenyanische, tanzanische und ugandische Perspektive. Ein Ausschnitt aus einem Papier von Nyerere von 1960 zur Notwendigkeit einer ostafrikanischen Föderation (aus "Freedom and Unity" von 1967) beschließt die Sammlung. (DÜI-Sbd)

Research Brown Bag Presentations ; The East African Community faces several challenges, including poor governance, an inadequate legal and institutional framework, and poor public participation. A major cause of this predicament are institutional imbalances, brought about by an institutional design that vests most powers in the Summit and the Council (the executive organs of the Community). This leaves the Legislative Assembly, a so-called representative of the public voice, with limited control over acts of the Community. The outcome has been a lack of understanding, support and ownership of the integration process by the subjects whose integration is sought. It is therefore important to examine the institutional interventions needed to create a balance of powers between the executive and legislative organs of the Community in order to ensure effective integration. ; Strathmore University Law School
