Transport Corridors in Africa

---

This comprehensive open-access volume offers a multi-disciplinary examination of the political economy, inherent tensions, and socio-economic dynamics driving transport corridors across East, West, and Southern Africa. Rather than adopting a purely technical or presentist perspective, the book contextualizes how these vital infrastructural assemblages—linking coastal ports to interior landlocked states via road and rail—are shaped by competing global actors like China and the European Union. Through diverse comparative case studies, ranging from Cameroonian railways to the Abidjan-Lagos and Addis-Djibouti routes, the contributing scholars analyze the systemic frictions between national interests and regional integration, trade facilitation and corridor revenue generation, and grand developmental policies and the everyday realities of cross-border traders. Ultimately, the text highlights the complex challenges of managing high fixed costs and building resilient, long-term regional infrastructure on the continent.
