A OHADA como modelo de integração jurídica em África: desafios, limitações e possibilidades de aproximação pela SADC e por Moçambique

Abstract

This study addresses the Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa (OHADA) as a model of legal integration on the African continent, providing an analysis of its institutional framework, the mechanisms of normative harmonization it adopts, and the results achieved within the African space where it has been implemented. The study focuses, in particular, on the possibilities of approximation to the OHADA experience within the framework of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), as well as its potential relevance for Mozambique, taking into account the legal, economic and institutional specificities of the region. The research thus seeks to reflect on the feasibility of adopting, adapting or drawing inspiration from OHADA instruments as a means of deepening regional legal integration, strengthening cooperation among Member States, and promoting sustainable economic development.
