1	An assessment of the role played by political leaders, nationalism and sub-nationalism in the establishment and collapse of the East African community, 1960-1977 Mngomezulu, Bhekithemba Richard 30 November 2006 (has links) The process which culminated in the establishment of the East African Community (EAC) in 1967 started in the early 1920s. The idea was first conceived in Britain. Initially, East Africans vehemently opposed this idea fearing that it would sustain British hegemony in the region, but their resentment did not prevent the establishment of the East African High Commission (EAHC) in January 1948. It was only in the 1950s and 1960s that East African leaders embraced the idea due to political and economic reasons. In 1961 they converted the EAHC into the East African Common Services Organisation (EACSO) and in 1967 they established the EAC. Nationalism and sub-nationalisms in the region cast a spell on the EAC. The coup, which took place in Uganda in 1971, strained relations between Idi Amin and Presidents Nyerere and Kenyatta thus making it impossible to hold regional meetings. Eventually, the EAC collapsed in June 1977. / Political Science / M.A. (Politics) Relationships Regionalism Politics Nationalism Integration Independence East Africa Federation Community Colonialism 320.9676 Political leadership -- Africa, East East African Community -- History Nationalism -- Africa, East Regionalism -- Africa, East Africa, East -- Economic conditions
