"This book examines European countries' engagement in promoting regional integration in the East African Community (EAC). In addition to their usage of the European Union (EU), states employ other bilateral initiatives to channel their regional aid to the EAC. The book explores differing national interests and the decisions to engage with the EAC, both multilaterally via the EU and through their other bilateral channels. In addition to analyzing states' interests, the book goes further to examine how lack of coordination of those European initiatives cause various challenges in the EAC. It is shown how the EAC bureaucrats have to engage separately with the EU and its member states in their different channels, thus experiencing challenges in different stages of their aid project cycles, for instance in identification, implementation and reporting phases. This book would be an excellent resource for research and practitioners focusing on the topics of European promotion of regional integration, development aid, African and European regional integration processes, as well as foreign policy analysis"-- Provided by publisher.
