Research

Incorporation of non-trade norms in the integration agenda of regional economic communities is a pervasive phenomenon in international economic law. In doing so, norm linkages between the human rights and trade regime are forged, with various implications. Using African regional economic communities as a case study, I critically evaluate this phenomenon.
