The European Union (EU) and the Organisation pourl'harmonisation en Afrique du droit des affaires (OHADA) are the two most integrated supranational organisations in the world. The contributions in this volume compare the institutional frameworks of both organisations and the results achieved in terms of legal harmonisation and unification.

The volume examines key challenges posed by digitisation and internationalisation in public law, European law, and international law. The contributions analyse legal implications for mobility and administrative procedures, as well as the regulation of digital media, online communication, and artificial intelligence.
