| 520 | |a The research studies the international and domestic factors and forces that led to the transformation of Organization of African Unity (OAU) into the African Union (AU). Furthermore, it examines the structural and functional differences between the defunct OAU and the newly emerge AU that replaces the OAU. In order to reach at independent findings we investigate various theories in Human Sciences and finally settle at Easton’s system theory. Easton System theory describes, identifies and predicts the transformation in the society at both national and international level. The theory is based on persistence and adaptation of the system. Easton believes that there is a form of a political system in every society. And this system is not defenseless against disturbances from the environment. According to this theory systems are capable of reacting to disturbances and of creating action to adopt either in response to or in anticipation of disturbances. In this context, the OAU was under constant pressure from both national and international environments. Nationally, there were many conflicts within and among nations of Africa and increase in number of those living on the continent in object poverty. Internationally, the foreign debt owed primarily to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank (WB) lending institutions. This massive economic burden hinders the development of Africa, and is behind poor educational institutions. Furthermore, it impedes economic integration on the continent. This heavy debt burden is a major impediment to achieve economic integration within and across regional and sub regional groupings in Africa. It doesn’t only obstruct regional integration, but also it erodes previous development achievements. In addition, the forces of globalization were another means to pressure the OAU to transform and adapt to rising disturbances. Consequently the OAU was transform into AU. The newly structure political geography is a giant step in the direction of offering practical transformation. Promoting long-term commitments to the African Renaissance vision, including the construction of a full participatory AU, which may be more conducive to economic development, integration and peacebuilding on the continent. | ||
