I would like to work on a research paper related to the benefits of Regional Power Integration in the Eastern Africa Region, this might include the Geopolitics, the social aspect etc of 8 to 10 countries. Any idea? Anyone who can support me with ideas? how to go about it? or any related idea?
Thanks.
Yes, integration via power network can have positive geopolitical effect. Recall that EU was initially based on steel and coal union.
As for economic incentive, it allows for more balance in regional disparity in demand and supply of electricity by different sources.
From conflict management or mediation perspective, integration through regional power integration reduces players in intervention efforts and hence increase likelihood of ceasefire. As Yuri Yugorov talks of balance in disparities, such network can promote weak state economies.
Dear Abraham,
Thanks for your ideas they are perfect. But what I am looking for is an idea that is testable and provable. This means that the theoretical point of view should enable me to collect data from 8-10 East Africa countries including Kenya and use a reputable methodology like Econometrics and prove my hypothesis
Thanks and please also comment on the above..
