'An economic analysis of East African unity, 1960-2000' https://doi.org/10.17863/CAM.123441 Kiniry, Allison Austin, Gareth This thesis examines the viewpoints and differentiated outcomes of East African industries under various forms of regional integration in the forty years which followed decolonisation. Manufactured exports from Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania were competitive only in the regional market, making regional integration a particularly useful lens through which to examine the macroeconomic policymaking priorities of each partner state. From independence onward, the promotion of manufacturing in the service of economic independence was core to the political economy of all three states and featured heavily in the rhetoric of their respective leaders. But, as any honest politician will admit, to govern is to choose, and there was no pretence that each state could have all the manufacturing sectors they wanted immediately. Analysing the forms of protection and market access industrialists requested, and often received, should allow for a more comprehensive view of the mechanics of East African unity during this period and make clear that these regional events are important for the national economic histories of each partner state.
