Analysing the Concept of Derogation in Regional and Continental Integration: A Case of Zimbabwe | Chapter 2 | New Innovations in Economics, Business and Management Vol. 2

 Africa, like any other continent, has embraced continental integration in order to produce economies of scale and achieve long-term economic growth and development. Resource pooling, collaborative capacity building, complementary resource endowment management, and internal markets will all help to build a healthy African economy capable of overcoming poverty, unemployment, and social hardship.

The founding nationalists' African development architecture ignores the concept of developing continental collective capacity for shared economic performance, improved and simplified movement of people and goods, development of common regional infrastructure, and promotion of a conducive macroeconomic environment facilitating economic development among African states.

Pan-African institutions' new recognition that broader intra-Africa collaboration is viable beyond problems of continental peace and security to engendering macroeconomic convergence is a shift from the customary rhetoric of state sovereignty. According to studies, trade accounts for 80 cents of every dollar made in Africa. The realisation that continental integration remains a viable option arose in the context of efforts to ram through previous multilateral agreements with Africa, particularly in the area of raw material commerce. The creation of African regional trade blocs has progressed, albeit with intrinsic limits mostly driven by turfism, historical colonial attachments, a leadership shortage, and general institutional shortcomings in member states. The widespread failure of rules-based economic engagements in Africa, on the other hand, is a major source of concern, as it undermines Africa's tremendous potential for increasing intra-African trade.

This study will examine and analyse the notion of derogation in integration, putting Zimbabwe's derogation experiences in SADC, COMESA, and the CFTA in context, as well as comparing and contrasting situations from other continents. Derogation, by its very nature, has an adverse effect on the country requesting the derogation and stymies progress with the group dedicated to the goal of economic cooperation. Zimbabwe falls into the same category, putting other nations in a position to use reciprocity to mitigate the effects of faulty domestic economic policies.

Regional Integration and Law: An Approach to Issues of Theory and Practice | Chapter 5 | Selected Topics in Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 7

 When the single-polar world changes, the integration procedures that characterise the entire regionalization process become even more important. Regional integration becomes an unavoidable aspect of the process of development.   This article examines the content, types, and various types of classification of regional-level integration that exist in doctrine, formulates classification and stages of integration procedures based on the scopes of cooperation, investigates «new regionalism » tendencies, and presents an original concept of establishing international regional law as a branch of international law at the current stage of social development. New branches and sub-branches of law, institutions, and norms are regularly added to the legal system, making it more efficient overall. The study of integrational processes in the context of geopolitical competitiveness development, as well as the active formation of new regional economic, social, and military-political spaces, necessitates the mobilisation of not only political, social, and economic resources, but also legal resources. The author identified a number of signs such as fusion and interconnection of national interests, which ensures a balance of national interests of member-states of regional formations on the one hand, and the interests of the regional formation itself on the other, through a complex analysis of integrational processes within the framework of current regional formations. The author supports the conclusion that the construction and functioning of such regional formations are impossible without the presence of international regional law, an element of which can have a certain amount of autonomy in terms of both national and international law.

Security Issues in a Changing Asian Region | Book Publisher International

 The book "Security Issues in a Changing Asian Region" examines the region's geopolitical architecture from the late twentieth century to the year 2020. It delves into the key sources of regional threats to peace and security, as well as the political, social, and security factors that stymie regional growth and interregional cooperation. This research focuses on the position of India's sociopolitical situation in the development of the Asian region's geopolitical map, as well as the country's foreign policy values, involvement in regional security, and activities within regional cooperation organisations. Security issues have spread across Asia, according to a study of Asian security. Simultaneously, such issues have a substantial negative effect on bilateral fiscal, trade, and investment ties. Inter-regional ties, both current and expected, are seen as promising tasks by New Delhi. Mutual economic interests can help keep political tensions under check, at least for the time being. India has immense potential, and if the new government realises it, it will be able to play a strategic role in Asia.
