Publisher's Synopsis
Both political economy and foreign policy have been transformed in the states of West Africa at the start of the 1990s because of the end of the Cold War and continuing changes in the global economy in addition to national structural adjustment programmes. The 'new' regionalism involves ECOMOG (Ceasefire Monitoring Group) as well as ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) and necessitates revisionism in analysis as well as praxis. This original collection offers comparative insights into major actors, issues, structures, perspectives and prospects at the end of the century.
