Abstract: | Questions dealt with: To what extent does the Treaty for East African Co-operation strike a balance betveen political federation and economic integration? And how far are the present arrangements of the East African Community likely to survive the political imponderables of the future? Viewing the Treaty as playing a role of combining economic integration with a commitment to political integration, the author recalls the history of the East African High Commission and the East African Common Services Organization. The latter was replaced by the East African Community. After discussing the four major disadvantages from which the EACSO system suffered and explaining how the Treaty for East African Co-operation helped to solve the four problems, the author discusses the Authority, the Tribunal and the Councils of the Community.
