Transport in Africa: Challenges, Prospects for Sustainable Development
Abstract:
The detailed examination of such a subject will be carried out on the basis of a fundamental problem, which will thus serve as a guideline in the presentation of the ideas which should underlie the approach. This concerns the question of the links between the challenges of transport services in Africa and sustainable development. In other words, how can transport services in Africa contribute more easily to sustainable development in order to meet continental challenges? Thus the problem of method is at the heart of any scientific work as it is true that the method sheds light on the hypotheses and determines the conclusions, our approach will be ordered with a few exceptions around the use of the analytical and exegetical but also comparative method. It is understood as the analysis, interpretation and explanation of the rules of law, particularly those contained in the various legal texts of the GATT and the WTO. As for the expected results, it will be a question of studying the standards and rules of the General Agreement on Trade in Services(GATS or GATS) of the WTO (Section I) which work for a progressive liberalization of the services sector, including among others transport(Section II).
