The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA): Taking stock and looking ahead for international business research
系统梳理了非洲大陆自由贸易区（AfCFTA）相关的现有研究，评估其对成员国及非成员国的国际商业影响，并指出未来研究方向，适合关注非洲市场和国际商务的学者参考。
The establishment of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) has opened new avenues of research interest in International Business and International Management. However, scholarly work in this fledgling area of research has been disparate and often lacking in the assessment of core international business implications of the emergence of the AfCFTA on member states as well as non-member states. This is because, as yet, no systematic attempt has been made to explore the AfCFTA in the context of IB research, or project future IB research directions. Hence, in this paper, using the PRISMA method we have systematically identified the current published research and scholarly work on the AfCFTA and provided a robust picture of the current state of knowledge and available literature on the AfCFTA while at the same time outlining potential areas for future international business research.
