Abstract

The idea of Pan-Africanism has long percolated amongst those of African descent, given the agglomeration of external exploitative forces that impact the continent and its people. This thesis aims to explore the history and tenability of a Pan-African Union within the modern context and state of the continent. Utilizing examples from other successful regional organizations and theories of regional integration, the thesis seeks to prescribe some possible means by which the ideal of an effective and stable Pan-African Union can approach realization, particularly amongst the nation-states of sub-Saharan Africa.
