Abstract: | Eighteen African nations are associated with EEC since the beginning (1958) and enjoy special preferential treatment. This paper examines the economic background to the association, with respect to French economic and financial policies in Africa. After an analysis of French colonial economic policy (capital investment - labour policy - trade and aid policy - economic planning) the conclusion is that the dependence on France for money, men, and markets is important in understanding the decision of most French African countries to remain within the French Community.
