dc.descriptionFree trade agreements have been known to have numerous benefits, especially from an economic point of view, however, it has been argued that for them to be successful, they ought to be complemented by a conducive socio-economic –and by extension political environment. Regrettably, the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement (AfCFTA) arrived at a time when Africa was economically and politically unstable; conflict and economic insecurity have exacerbated the lack of development in the contintent. As a result of the above, this paper seeks to understand how African states will navigate their various economic and, by extension, political interests in the hope of contributing to the success of the AfCFTA. Finally, the paper will answer whether Africa is ready for a free trade agreement by employing a qualitative research approach and reviewing current literature.en-US
dc.descriptionSe sabe que los acuerdos de libre comercio tienen numerosos beneficios, especialmente desde el punto de vista económico, sin embargo, se ha argumentado que para que tengan éxito, deben complementarse con un entorno socioeconómico y, por extensión, político propicio. Lamentablemente, en África, el acuerdo ACFTA llegó en un período de inestabilidad económica y política; los conflictos y la inestabilidad económica han agravado el desarrollo en el continente. Por lo tanto, dentro de la premisa de lo anterior, utilizando un enfoque de investigación cualitativa a través de la literatura de revisión, este artículo busca comprender cómo los estados africanos navegarán a través de sus diferentes intereses económicos y, por extensión, políticos con la esperanza de contribuir al éxito de la economía africana. Continental Free Trade Area, al final, el documento responderá si África está lista o no para un acuerdo de libre comercio.es-ES
