Abstract

In this episode, Professor Lindsay Whitfield from CBDS discusses with Professor Faizel Ismail from the University of Cape Town the opportunities and challenges with using the African Continental Free Trade Area to spur regional industrialization and regional value chains. Drawing on his personal experience as South Africa’s Chief Trade Negotiator since 1994, Professor Ismail provides insights into the history of failed attempts to create common economic markets on the continent that could catalyze industrialization and why it might be different this time around.
