This book contains a collection of papers that examine the failure of regional integration and co-operation to date in west Africa and that explore some of the options for the revitalization of such initiatives. The papers are arranged in three categories: strategic visions and prospects for regional integration and co-operation; economic perspectives; and political dimensions. Specific topics include the role of the Economic Community of West African States; theoretical models and approaches to regional integration; the role of community building in regional integration; partnerships for innovation; national policies as impediments to economic integration; parallel trade as a form of economic subversion; lessons from the West African Monetary Union; human rights and integration; the regional dimension of environmental management; and power sharing at the regional level.

One of the principal aims of the effort to integrate the economies of the 16 member countries of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is to expand intra-Community trade. This objective is to be achieved partly through the elimination of quantitive and other restrictions on trade.

Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: A, ESCP Europe, language: English, abstract: Development in Africa has been an issue for many years now. Since the independence of most of the states in the 1960's, the western countries have tried to help the so- called third world countries to develop their economies and thus to lift their population out of poverty. The efforts were conducted through direct intervention or through the non-governmental organisation like the IMF or the UN. Despite decades of commitment and billion dollar efforts, most of Africa remains in a poor status with nearly half of its population living on less than one dollar per day. Since its independence regional frameworks have existed but only obtained little attention from international as well as from national side. But with the failure of most programmes and the ever growing stronger trend to regional trade agreements throughout the whole world, the frameworks in Africa have moved in the centre of attention. International organisations promote the further integration of these; national governments put the frameworks on the top of their agendas. The aim of this project is to show the possible influence of regional cooperation frameworks in the development process of the countries in the West-African region. The analysis was focused on two existent regional frameworks, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU). During the analysis, the nature of the ECOWAS and the WAEMU is to be identified as well as possible differences in their approach of the regional development. The question that will be asked are how the influence of the unions exactly looks like, which effects this has on the members, how the unions evolved over the time and how they plan to develop in the future.

Meaningful regional integration among West African states is critical if the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is ever going to be be able to tackle civil wars, economic crises, and natural disasters in the region. France's support is essential for the development of a meaningful ECOWAS. Francophone West African countries face a choice betwwen closer ties with France, which has provided development aid, ensured currency convertibility, and guaranteed monetary stability in these francophone countries -- and closer ties with Nigeria [which has done none of the above for itself, much less for its neighbors, and has a different agenda from France].

The countries in the East African Community (EAC) are among the fastest growing economies in sub-Saharan Africa. The EAC countries are making significant progress toward financial integration, including harmonization of supervisory arrangements and practices and the modernization of monetary policy frameworks. This book focuses on regional integration in the EAC and argues that the establishment of a time table for the eliminating the sensitive-products list and establishing a supranational legal framework for resolving trade disputes are important reforms that should foster regional integration.

The inspiration to write on the ECOWAS Treaty and the role of financial institutions derived from the apparent and unabated efforts of the various governments in the West African subregion to find solutions to the inexplicable sufferings and underdevelopment of the region and its people in the face of abundant but untapped human and natural resources. The strategy of integration has been employed by other jurisdictions, some of them more developed, as an option in addressing the forgoing challenges. So many years after the establishment of ECOWAS, the dream is far from being attained. Given the critical financial engagements inherent in the ECOWAS integration strategy, it is considered desirable that the treaty is rationalized to accommodate a wider role for financial institutions within the control of a supra national framework.
