This thesis examines problems related to particular labor laws currently applied in international air transport. This analysis is framed within the context of scholarly theory and judicial practice arising from various regimes of labor law governing industrial injury, the individual contract of employment, labor-management relations, and fair treatment in the civil aviation industry. A critical survey of labor regulations operating in the international air transport industry is provided through commentary on the principles formulated by judicial decisions and the theories which underlie their reasoning, helping to clarify both substantive and procedural labor laws affecting international air transport. A critical analysis of different categories of statutory labor law governing international air transport is also provided to assess the validity of commonly-erected conflict of labor law rules, thereby revealing the inadequacy of the single rule principle in view of the unique and perplexing regulatory interests which are inherent in aviation activity. The divergence between domestic labor statutes and Treaties of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation or bilateral air transport agreements also adds a more subtle aspect to the problems explored.

The sources of Africa's Civil Aviation Law and Policy are various. The region's political economy as well as its historic relationship with Europe have significant influences on its civil aviation law and policy which, nevertheless, cannot deviate from the international legal framework (Chapters 1-3).

L'économie politique de la région ainsi que ses relations historiques avec l'Europe influencent de façon importante le droit et la politique de 1 'aviation civile africaine qui' néanmoins, ne peut s'écarter de la structure juridique internationale (chapitres 1-3).

The introduction of this dissertation discusses geopolitical and socio-economic factors which influence transportation in Africa. Chapters II and III, respectively, analyse the concept of regionalism and the legal framework of multinational civil aviation co-operation. The economic advantages of surface and air transportation are compared in Chapter IV. Chapter V is a general survey of the impact of nationalism on socio-economic co-operation. To illustrate the extent of political problems, in economic and aeronautical co-operation, the former East African Community is reviewed in Chapter VI. The demised East African regional carrier is specifically discussed in Chapter VII. Chapter VIII highlights the notion in functionalism as an approach to the attainment of socio-economic integration. Multilateral organizations responsible for co-ordinating and fostering co-operation are examined in Chapters IX, X and XI. Current regional activities and future prospects are essessed in the penultimate chapter. The conclusion contains the essential elements required in creating regional airlines in Africa.

In this comparative study, we examine the legal regulation of civil aviation in Commonwealth Africa. In Chapter 1, we examine the history of Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and the evolution of the East African Community. Chapter 2 deals with colonial regulation of aviation. In Chapter 3, we consider problems of state succession in relation to aviation during the periods of transition to independence. Chapter 4 deals with treaty-making procedures of the respective states, while in Chapter 5, we examine the legislative, administrative and judicial processes of these states in relation to aviation. Licensing of air transport undertakings is considered in Chapter 6, while Chapter 7 is devoted to designation and control of airports. Some aspects of international economic law concerning aviation are considered in Chapter 8, while in Chapter 9, we examine the reconstruction of the state-owned airlines. In Chapter 10, we summarize and draw final conclusions. REGLEMENTATION LEGALE DE L'AVIATION CIVILE EN AFRIQUE DU COMMONWEALTH: UNE ETUDE COMPARATIVE Dans la présente étude comparative, nous examinons la réglementation légale de l'aviation civile en Afrique du Commonwealth. Dans le premier chapitre, nous examinons l'histoire du Nigéria, du Ghana, du Kenya, de l'Ouganda, de la Tanzanie et l'évolution de la Communauté est-africaine. Le chapitre 2 traite de la réglementation coloniale de l'aviation. Dans le chapitre 3, nous considérons les problèmes de la succession d'Etats en rapport avec l'aviation pendant les périodes de transition vers l'indépendance. Le chapitre 4 traite des procédures d'élaboration des traités des différents Etats, tandis que dans le chapitre 5, nous examinons les procédures législatives, administratives et judiciaires de ces Etats en ce qui concerne l'aviation. La réglementation des permis des entreprises de transport aérien est passée en revue dans le chapitre 6 alors que le chapitre 7 est consacré aux conditions de création et de fonctionnement et au contrôle des aérodromes. Certains aspects du droit économique international particuliers à l'aviation sont évoqués dans le chapitre 8 et dans le chapitre 9, nous examinons la reconstruction des lignes aériennes possédées par l'Etat.
