Abstract

To outline the geographic framework of this study, it is necessary to specify what is meant by the subregion of East Africa whose integration is investigated in this monograph. Analysis of regional identity with due account of ethnic and linguistic peculiarities of respective countries helps get a deeper insight in integration processes.

Motto of the East African Community (EAC): “One People One Destiny”.
