الملخص EN

The global economy today is characterized by a trend towards integration and increased interdependence, and the interlocking between economies represented in the trend towards the formation of regional economic blocs, and this phenomenon occupied a prominent position in the economic literature, where the world witnessed activity in the form of regional economic blocs, whether in a bilateral, sub regional or regional.

this is what the African continent knew at the beginning of its modern independence in the sixties and seventies, as it tended to choose the economic blocs that were represented in groups that varied according to the vastness of the continent’s area as a way to achieve political and economic goals.

security and stability in most of the countries of the continent and its preoccupation with wars and conflicts instead of encouraging this cooperation internally.

externally, the African continent was not spared from the looting of its wealth by the old colonizer, who entered it with a new face under the slogan of investment and provision of aid, which led the emerging African economic blocs to confusion in their problems and inability to achieve its goals.
