Abstract: | The map of cost-independence Africa is newly and neatly divided between the 18 independent African states which have chosen to become associated by treaty with the EES, and the 16 independent African states which have either rejected such an association or - as with Egypt, Ethiopia, Liberia, Libya, South Africa, and the Sudan - were never offered the possibility of becoming associated. Nkrumah has referred to the new treaty of associa-tion, and a request by Senghor to the anglophone African states to adhere to the treaty, as 'a special plea for collective colonialism of a new order'. The division between associated and non-associated African states is for Nkrumah a fundamental obstacle to efforts towards African political and economic unity. This article proposes to examine how this division cane about, and its implications for future African political and economic integration and the economic developent of Africa. Notes. |
