With the frequent civil and commercial transactions between China and Africa, more and more legal disputes arose as a result. Currently the civil and commercial disputes are mainly the contractual disputes, letter of credit or guarantee disputes, labor disputes, marine disputes and delictual disputes. These disputes often occur in the African countries and are often settled in African courts or arbitral institutions. Under the current legal systems and legal traditions in many African countries and in China, it is more preferable to settle such disputes through arbitration instead of through litigation for the Chinese parties as well as for the African parties doing business in China.

Oppong challenges the view that effective economic integration in Africa is hindered by purely socioeconomic , political and infrastructural problems. Inspired by the comparative experiences of other regional economic communities and imbued with insights from constitutional, public and private international law, he argues that even if the socioeconomic , political and infrastructural challenges were to disappear, the state of existing laws would hinder any progress. Using a relational framework as the fulcrum of analyses, he demonstrates that, in Africa's economic integration processes, community-state, interstate and inter-community legal relations have been neither carefully thought through nor situated on a solid legal framework, and that attempts made to provide a legal framework have been incomplete and, sometimes, grounded on questionable assumptions. To overcome these problems and aid the economic integration agenda that is essential for Africa's long-term economic growth and development, the author proposes radical reforms to community and national laws. richard frimp ong opp ong is a lecturer at Lancaster University Law School.
