dc.description.abstractRegional economic cooperation and integration such as ECA, OAU, Lagos Plan of Action and the Final Act of Lagos since the past four decades have remained the central pillars of African development strategies. Although, most of these past policies were marked by false shorts and failures; due to reasons which include amongst others lack of political will, lack of capacity and interference, the New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD) has been launched and is being implemented as 'novel initiative/strategy to resolve Africa's continental crisis of development' But given the similarity in the philosophical underpinning of NEPAD visa-vis the previous failed efforts, one is tempted to argue that it was designed to fail. Using the political economy approach, a content analysis of the NEPAD document was undertaken. On this basis, the case of Cote d'ivoire political crisis ascertains that NEPAD, as currently packaged, is merely a symbolic policy initiative put in place by its originators to advance their own interest and perpetuate themselves in power. It becomes glaring from the work that unless Africa adopts a new approach to its political economy it will continue to replace one set of inadequate development strategy with another.en_US
