This book provides legal analysis of the multilateral liberalisation of the air transport industry in Africa within the framework of the African Union Agenda 2063 initiative, the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM).Offering a detailed examination of the regulatory framework and policy considerations that have shaped the political economy of air transport in Africa, the book offers a comparative analysis with the European Union (EU) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). By highlighting the need for a tailored approach to air transport liberalisation in Africa, it underscores the importance of considering the continent's unique socio-political context, diverse values, identities, circumstances, and challenges arising from its vast and varied landscape. The book proposes a principled approach to the implementation of the SAATM initiatives and calls on stakeholders to consider holistic implementation that favours the principle of variable geometry, stakeholder engagement, and alignment with Agenda 2063. It also emphasises the significance of supporting aviation policies such as safety, security, financing, competition, and environmental sustainability.The Air Transport Industry in Africa will be of interest to researchers in the fields of aviation law, economic law, and regional integration in Africa.

This book explores a normative and regulatory pathway for Africa's venture into outer space. It situates African space law and policy within the continent's regionalist vision and mission under Agenda 2063 while also engaging in a comparative analysis with global models to suggest new legal standards, investment approaches, and institutional measures that can be adopted incrementally by the Member States.The volume emphasises how space is no longer an aspirational luxury but a critical infrastructure for food security, climate resilience, education, medicine, and continental cohesion. It proposes the idea of 'Outer Space Pan-Africanism' as an essential lens for interpreting and shaping the political economy of outer space law and policy in Africa. It defines this 'Outer-Space Pan-Africanism' as a set of six principles based on Pan-African solidarity in outer space initiatives, technological self-reliance, equitable access to space benefits and alignment with global space law and policy. Through case studies of South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Algeria, Angola and Egypt, the book discusses how divergent legal and policy models interact with regional development objectives. At the same time, it also examines the significance of benchmarks drawn from the European Union (EU), Latin America and the Caribbean, the Arab World, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in illuminating transferable lessons in funding mechanisms, governance, technology transfer and phased integration.This book will be useful for postgraduate students, researchers and academics interested in space law, international economic law, development economics and political economy, international relations and regional integration in Africa.
