This book comprises a study that focuses on the experience in state-managed cooperation and integration between The Gambia and Senegal. Specifically, it examines the nexus between national politics in The Gambia and inter-state cooperation in Senegambia; that is, the impact and implications of politics in The Gambia on the process of cooperation with Senegal in functional areas. The experience is instructive in such ways as: it examines the resultant problems in any scheme that is out to promote integration between countries with distinct colonial heritage; it exemplifies the fact that integration can be perceived as a threat to national sovereignty; and, it reveals the complexities and intricacies of achieving union among African states.
