This edited collection considers the social and economic crises, methods of regulating the economies and mechanisms for reconstruction in Central Africa, which comprisies the DRC, Congo Brazzaville, Chad, Gabon, Cameroon and the Central African Republic. The work scrutinises the prolonged crises which have shaken the sub-region to the core to determine their origins and dimensions. The studies take stock of the past and the present and open up future perspectives, commenting on matters such as external debt and structural adjustment, the diamond trade, economic growth and the effects of globalisation. It identifies the diverse economic reform and reconstruction projects currently taking place in the CEMAC region. Overall, the study contests that Central African states are capable of rising to the major challenge of achieving economic competivity at national, sub-regional and international levels, and integration within the region.
