The concept of regional integration signifies a de-emphasis on the barrier effects of international boundaries. This, in effect, implies that borderlands should be considered as corridors from one country to another rather than buffer zones between sovereign states. The policy implications of this notion constitute the highlights of this book. The topics discussed by the contributors include capacity building for governance across Africa’s International Boundaries, the Malian approach to border administration, the merit of cross-border languages, the rights of migrant settlers in host countries, the place of trans-border research in African Integration as well as the human resources challenges, especially from the point of view of personnel recruitment and engineering practices in the emergent Economic Community of West Africa (ECOWAS)
