摘要

This chapter critically explores Pan-African agency in shaping Africa’s revolutionary political economy, emphasising unity, self-determination, and economic sovereignty. Anchored in Agenda 2063 and the Minimum Integration Programme (MIP), it assesses how African Union (AU) frameworks and historical movements, from the OAU to AfCFTA, advance continental integration. Through a political economy lens, the chapter interrogates Africa’s resistance to global economic hegemony, colonial legacies, and structural dependency. Despite persistent challenges—sovereignty tensions, weak institutions, and REC overlaps, the pursuit of pragmatic, phased integration strategies reflects a strategic pivot towards autonomy.
