Economic integration efforts in Africa have been ongoing since the 1960s. In spite of the fact that judicial bodies – in the form of Courts and Tribunals – have been provided as key institutions in integration treaties, they have largely not been active in application of the treaties or addressing disputes within the economic blocs until after 2000. This was partly a result of the failure in the timely establishment of the Courts and Tribunals and partly a result of the absence or limited role of individuals and non-State entities in the integration process (and, under certain treaties, of the right of access to the Courts and Tribunals). In the past decade, mainly through protocols to the treaties, the role of individuals and non-State entities in integration has been greatly enhanced, including the grant of locus standi before the Courts and Tribunals. The recent decisions of the Courts and Tribunals under the regional economic integration blocs, especially the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), the East African Community (EAC), the Economic Community for West African States (ECOWAS) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC), have addressed the role and locus standi of individuals and non-State entities that has significant implications for the future of economic integration processes in Africa.

Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dalam perekonomian yang terintegrasi penuh yang memungkinkan pergerakan input dan output secara bebas, maka proporsi output dalam perekonomian akan sama dengan proporsi input produktif (yakni physical dan human capital). Ini kami sebut sebagai hubungan proporsional (equal-share relationship).Hubungan ini juga berlaku ketika terdapat perbedaan teknologi atau perbedaan biaya pergerakan input lintas sektor dengan syarat input dan output ini diukur dengan benar dalam merefleksikan perbedaan biaya tersebut. Dalam suatu perekonomian yang terintegrasi, hubungan proporsional ini membatasi distribusi input dan output. Selain itu, hubungan proporsional ini sekaligus memberikan batasan pengambilan kebijakan yang dapat mempengaruhi perkembangan setiap sektor dalam perekonomian yang terintegrasi penuh. Disini investasi memainkan peranan kunci dalam menentukan distribusi produksi.Dengan aplikasi teknik analisis panel pada data negara ASEAN, penelitian ini menelusuri dampak kebijakan moneter terhadap investasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan: (i) bank sentral melalui kebijakan moneternya memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap kinerja investasi, (ii) inflasi yang rendah dan stabilitas perekonomian secara signifikan meningkatkan investasi. Menyongsong terbentuknya ASEAN Economic Community, temuan ini menegaaskan peran penting bank sentral dalam meningkatkan investasi.JEL Classification: E13, F15, F21, F22, O57Keywords:distribusi produksi, pertumbuhan, mobilitas input, kebijakan moneter, integrasi, ASEAN
