Camara, Boubacar. "Ajustement structurel et développement économique dans les états de la CEAO (communauté économique de l’Afrique de l'ouest)." Paris 10, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994PA100108.
Full textThe aim of the thesis is to contribute to the design of a new development strategy in West Africa, on the basis of the experience of the economic community of West Africa’s member-states. The study is comprised of three components. In the first component relating to the global evolution, are examined the historical and geopolitical dynamics of the sub-region and the analysis of the crisis of structure and operation vicious circles. As concerns the second component, it deals with the present policies being implemented, namely, adjustment policies and initiatives to overcome the socio-economic impasse. Seven hypotheses on the implications of structural adjustment are tested through case-studies. The last component, corresponding to the alternative, contains the proposal of an integral human development strategy in the sub-region, based on the valorization of human, material and financial resources, the development of integrated channels of development, the agro-industrial and artisanal integration, the setting up of new methods and criteria of management, as well as new forms of co-operation. A new method for evaluating achievements bound to a set of indicators is also proposed

Full textThis Ph.D. dissertation empirically investigates the optimality of a single currency in ECOWAS. It is subdivided into 4 chapters and is part of a dynamic approach to the theory of Optimum Currency Area (OCA). Chapter 1 shows that the traditional theory of OCA has not made it possible to make a credible and decisive judgement on the ability of West African states to form an OCA. In addition, it highlights the ambiguity of the results obtained in previous empirical works. However, these works are dated and the majority of them are static and omit the structural changes likely to occur in the area. Chapter 2 analyzes the degree of asymmetry of shocks within ECOWAS. We show that the economies of the region are marked by relatively high degrees of asymmetry. However, we stress the need to take into account the dynamic aspect of shocks, since a monetary union considered from the outset as costly can over time become beneficial. Chapter 3 identifies the determinants of synchronization of business cycles in ECOWAS. We show that bilateral trade and financial integration are determinants of the synchronization of business cycles in the region. In addition, we show that single currency increases the synchronization of business cycles through bilateral trade. Chapter 4 explores income and consumption smoothing patterns among ECOWAS. We show that official development assistance and gross savings smooth out asymmetric shocks between ECOWAS countries. Moreover, we show that even if the degree of risksharing has increased over time, it has remains limited. Thus, the creation of a supranational fiscal could provide an additional tool to mitigate asymmetric shocks in the region

Full textThe creation of ecowas means for the west african cuntries, the the institution of a setting to carry into effect a certain policy which involves rights and obligations and which enables them to realise an integration of economical, financial and even, political structures. Therefore, a policy of regional economic integration appears to them as a necessity on the way to reach the stage of economical and political independance. The goals defined by ecowas' treaty (article two) consist in promoting cooperation and development in all economic areas and especially, in industry, transport, currency and finance, agriculture. . .

Full textThe search for improving the liberalization process of the movement of goods and capitals in the ecowas considering the current but yet unachieved example of the eec, has revealed that, despite the ideological differences, the west African states are unanimous in perceiving integration as the only way to favor development. The outer factors that have shaped the present face of the ecowas are linked not only to the submission of the community to the constraints of the international economic law (gatt, imf) but also to the maintenance of the European influence over each state's law and over the communal law. The inner factors searched within the written law of the two treaties (eec, ecowas) have unveiled resemblances in the circulation principles of each convention. The idea about creating an ecowas currency area - in order to solve the problems of currency inconvertibility, to eliminate the restrictions on exchanges transactions, and to promote the free movement of capitals - has yet to be fulfilled. Accordingly, the eec system seems interesting. The compulsive effect of the European law (rule of primacy, direct effect, immediate applicability) - if also recognized in the ecowas law and adapted to the latter's conception - would give it a constraining effect which would compel the member states to apply the communal law. The function of the community court, which is not yet actual, will be vital for controlling the application of the communal law and by extension of its powers, the ability of individual and legal entities to act before the. . .

Full textThe comparative legal analysis of regional economic integration in the EU and in the ECOWAS, reveals epistemological convergences, because of the mimetism of the European model by its epigones, such as the former colonies of West Africa. As a result, the economic, methodological, and political foundations of regional integration are common to both regional blocks. The economic foundations draw from the neoclassical economic theory of the potential benefits of international exchange, while the methodological basis allow the identification of a decision-making and normative method that is at least supranational, in view of the effectiveness of the benefits of integration. Finally, the political foundations accompany the liberalization of trade of a policy of competitive regulation, promising both the effectiveness and potentially the efficiency of economic foundations of regional integration. The differences, or divergences between European and West African regional economic integration projects are therefore hardly at the basis of their theoretical and conceptual justifications. The difference between the ambition of economic integration in the EU and ECOWAS is not so much at the level of material rules, nor the institutional organization which frame and accompany the process of integration, and this whatever the level of integration considered. These preliminary considerations therefore justify, at first glance, an analysis of the epistemological convergences between the regional economic integration projects of the EU and ECOWAS. The differentiation that may unlight the limits of a comparative legal analysis between EU and ECOWAS lays in the legal practice of integration. These differences highlight a differentiated approach in the EU and ECOWAS of the link between the commercial liberalization and the competition policy. Moreover, since regional economic integration is likely to bring about a legal pluralism, to be defined as a polymorphic typology of pluralism, the divergences are only deeper. Anthropological, these divergences justify an analysis in terms of "system" or "non-systemic" economic integration in one and the other of the regional economic spaces considered within the framework of this thesis. This systemic analysis should allow an improvement for economic integration in the West African region, and that beyond the single consideration of the ECOWAS project

Full textAfter experimenting with different development strategies since 1950, developing countries came to consider economic integration as the best means of overcoming obstacles to their development. The first attempts at economic integration in black Africa took place on the eve of the decolonization movement and became increasingly frequent after 1960. This was a euphoric era characterized by the proliferation of economic interest groups throughout Africa. West Africa presents a distinct phenomenon in this respect. Its socio-economic scene has since been enriched by inter-governmental economic and political institutions of a very diverse nature. We can note the three leading instances of regional economic integration: CEAO, CEDEAO, MRU. These various endeavours are sure proof of the value which the states set by economics groupings. They represent a systematic rejection of inward looking policies and also show the clear desire for cooperation between neighbouring states. This study first analyses the impact of this proliferation of economic interest group and the different integrating mechanisms of the two leading communities and the aims to make an assessment of economic integration in West Africa. The essential conclusion of this study is that integration policies among west African states involving these many organisations have been far from successful : they have reached a dangerous impasse. This study therefore also aims to propose new means of cooperation

Full textThe countries of sub-saharan africa continue to be ravaged by famine inspite of the efforts of the countries of the north and international governmental and non governmental agencies to transfer food aid to them. In front of this serious situation, the countries of the economic community of west africa (ceao) have developed a rhetorical arguments to explain the situation. Factors of population, drought insufficient food aid from the international community, and especially imperialism have been cited at different moments as the causes of famine. The principal limitation of such extraverted arguments is that they ignore the role of the local political actors. Consequently, the food crisis in these states is considered as the result of a combination of political economic and structural constraints flowing from colonial strategies, and implementation since independence of hardly adapted developement plans conceived by foreign advisers. The incoherence of these policies has created a situation necessary for the audacity of the politicians. A comparative analysis of these policies as action systems and especially the case study of the people's republic of benin illustrate clearly a certain nomber of characteristics that explain the origin of famine in africa. The policies praticed since independence and which have developed over time bring into play two types of actors with divergent interest. There is first of all the modernising state that defines the strategies and structures development in the name of a certain ideological scheme. By means of these policies, the state lives-off the peasant. There is on the other hand, the peasant, the producer that is ignored during the process of decision making, and working on a different value system, regards the actions of the state as a means of ideological control. The psychological blockage that results from such a situation reveals the lack of democracy in the structures created by the state. Definitely, the phenomenon of hunger which is the result of a syndrom of inter related causes is not a fatality. It does

Full textThe international protection of foreign Investments within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) requires establishing the competence of the latter to ensure the security of the property of economic operators who are nationals of third States in its area. Thus, it has been shown that through its instruments for achieving regional integration, this community organization could be led to ensure the security of foreign investments. But, although ECOWAS’s willingness to assume such a function is great, the analysis shows that it has certain shortcomings which are intrinsically linked to the difference in nature between Community law and the Conventional law of investment. In this view, it was urgent to find other supplementary and even complementary instruments in the community protection of foreign investments within the community. These instruments have been localized in General International Law both through its substantive rules as in its procedural mechanics. However, while the protection afforded by ECOWAS law to the properties of foreign investors has been found to be ineffective, that of the international law, on the other hand, seems excessive to the point of being detrimental to host States, as long as it requires leveling. On examination, the observer might have the feeling that there is a tug of war between International law and Community law in securing the assets of foreign economic operators. This observer will then note that the law of the protection of foreigners enters a new era. Indeed, for a long time limited in the bilateral framework between the State of origin and the host States of the investment, the issue of securing foreign investments has acquired such acuity in the economic life of the State entities that it is tends to become a community affair. Finally, i twill be appreciated that, while the purpose of conventional investment law is the protection of foreigners, it may, in some respects, be a stimulus to good governance

Full textThe Bretton Woods’s institutions evoke Asian Newly Industrialized countries’s (NIC) experiment to justify liberal policies lied down to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) countries. However, in their enforcement, they occult the part of « strategic » protection measures in the success of these countries opening. Within the framework of the setting up of ECOWAS’s Common External Tariff (CET), the question of the role of the protection measures in the insertion of this zone to the world trade arises with acuity. With VAR and VECM models and the Asian NIC’s experiment, we use a cliometric approach and show in three chapters the role of the protection measures in the success of the aforesaid Asia’s countries opening. The first chapter shows that opening is a driving force behind growth and convergence. Nevertheless, it reveals that the poor countries would gain to resort to « strategic » protection measures in their insertion to the world economy. The second chapter shows that the NIC of Asia resorted enormously to « strategic » protection measures. With the developpementalist economists, one notes that government’s presence cannot be regarded as neutral. Finally, the third chapter supports, with CHELEM’s data, that the successful insertion of the Asian’s NIC to the world economy would be explained by their resort to « strategic » protection measures. The test of ELG assumption with VAR and VECM models shows the interest to take account of protection measures in the appreciation of opening’s contribution to growth. On the basis of these elements, we formulate a proposal of policy to ECOWAS’s countries. It hinges on the role that these countries must grant to « strategic » protection measures in the setting up of their CET, in order to open up more effectively to exchanges

Full textComprehensive understanding of the nature of the causal relationship between energy consumption and income that has a significant implication for development policy decisions is crucial. This is particularly true since the lack of access to modern energy services is recognized as a serious hindrance to economic and social development and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. By employing both qualitative and quantitative assessment approaches and used primary andsecondary data and information, our dissertation topic addresses the interrelated challenges of energy, development and environmental sustainability. To uncover the temporal relationship between energy consumption and economic growth, we apply recently developed panel unit root and panel cointegration techniques for estimatingthe long-run relationship between GDP and the total energy consumption as well as the electricity andoil price on the one hand and other hand, that of HDI for a subsample ofcountries in sub-Saharan Africa, the ECOWAs. Our conclusion is that the government should make long-run energy consumption policy to lower the effect from economic development to energy consumption through: -improving of energy access, security of supply, while addressing the impacts of Climate Change, by developing Sub-Saharan Africa potential of renewable energy resources (hydro-small, micro, optimization and expansion of electric pool - biomass and solar as well as biofuel…) improving energy efficiency both from demand side management (energy saving in households, businesses and administrations; deployment of energy saving appliances and equipment) and supply side (improve the technical efficiency of enterprises in energy supply)

Full textIn West Africa, pharmaceutical regulations harmonization process is characterized by initiatives on one hand separate and specific to Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS) and on the other to West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU). The present study which aims at contributing to pharmaceutical regulation optimization reveals that ECOWAS has essentialy elaborated guidelines while WAEMU by taking advantage of the strength and scope of legal standards available and opposable to member states succeeded to get tangible results. Pharmaceutical regulation optimization involves taking into account other reglementary functions not sufficiently regulated and in an active cooperation between both organisations reinforced by African Union intervention. This permits to build an approach including the creation of a west african agency for medecine and the implementation of inovatives sources of funding, whith the ultimate goal to promote access of populations to good quality medecines

Full textThe events which shake one and the other the countries of West Africa challenge us. The African west corroded by its regional abscesses presents an extremely complex situation which led many States as well as African organizations to take initiatives in order to find an exit with these problems. In spite of these initiatives, weaknesses of nature's structural, logistic, operational, financial however continue to block the development as of their capacities to face the conflicts in the area; added with this report the absence of a standing army force, from where need for the installation of a new strategy to come to end from the conflicts. The transfer of the forces armed to a level higher than that with national spaces is essential because the conflicts have today a tendency to a propagation and a diffusion out of the national borders. This prospect of total nature to regulate the conflicts is the only viable step if, West Africa wants to leave this swirl of insecurity in which it is. This armed force finds already its bases in the total concept of a mechanism of prevention and management of the conflicts and, its legitimacy within the regional and international organizations. Its creation is possible, but only if the African western countries manage to set up a model of organization and operation adapted while profiting from the co-operation of the Western countries

Full textWest African states have made economic integration the preferred way to deal with the challenge of economic development in an increasingly competitive international context. Thus, through regional and subregional organizations, the protection of the free movement of competition has become a community issue.West African regional economic integration has therefore been seized by competition law. From this, we note emerging competition rights in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Each of these organizations has therefore put in place a competition law in its economic area. As a result, given the composition of UEMOA and ECOWAS, these Community rights are intended to be applied to the Member States of the Union which are also part of the Community. The features of the coexistence of these Community competition law in West Africa deserved to be examined in order to evaluate their application, to analyze the effectiveness and efficiency of these rights. This comparative study intends to highlight the contain of these rights, reveal their specificities, while showing their lacks. It’s necessary to rethink or even reform some aspects of these rights to improve their applications, basis for a better protection of free competition in West Africa

Full textAfrica should live in the frame of globalization. Otherwise it could be pushed off despite it owns proper tools for such an adaptation. Africa should wrestle against markets segmentations and built up supranational economic areas. In this aim economical integration, has been set up by western African countries as a way for development, in as the frame of a single markets allows elimination of monopolies. African states involved in this integration process overcome the restricted areas in the view to create a free competition space. Nevertheless, this free competition might be disturbed by anti-competition practices, to be regulated. Coming to a competitive surrounding, main target for West African unions (such as UEMOA and CEDEAO), won't be affordable apart from adopting rules leading to a true competition. Effectiveness of community competition law will be mainly linked to its implementation and its cohesion with the economical frame where is applied the free competition i.e the common market. Western Africa will reach economic development by setting up a competition policy and economical efficient policy. The thesis underlines the necessary interaction between un efficient common market and original competitions policy in western Africa thru legal instruments for building up the markets and competition protection

Full textThe specificities of the Cape Verdean archipelago in the West African regional context are regularly mobilized in public discourse to justify the complexity of the process. The cultural societal framework and historical creolization are presented as the original causes of Cape Verdean singularity in West Africa. However, the retrospective analysis of trade and circulation in the region provides access to certain keys to understanding necessary for the interpretation of today's regional state relations. Certainly, geography, the « ethnic » unity of the nation, etc., make the construction of the Cape Verdean state an exception within the community. However, is this enough to explain the relations between Cape Verde and ECOWAS? According to Cape Verdean analysts and national practitioners, the country's foreign policy is described as pragmatic. The community approach is described as a strategy that would make it possible to combine different institutional anchors, while maintaining a certain independence. While it is true that in theory it is indeed possible to be a member of the CPLP, to have a (special) partnership with the European Union, the UN, or the United States… In practice, what are the concrete consequences of the superposition of these commitments, in particular, in terms of: security, mobility, trade. In terms of defense, how to position oneself in the event of conflicts? At the borders, what rules should be applied? For trade, what standards should be favored? Conversely, is Cape Verdean specificity taken into consideration during the process of developing ECOWAS regional policies (in accordance with the initial text)? By approaching regional integration from the organizational model of its administration and the operational functioning of its institutions and by going back to the colonial origins of the European Union, we can shed light on the origins of ECOWAS's institutional mimicry towards the EU. Thus, by analyzing the legal instruments (treaties, additional protocols) and reviewing the institution's strategic orientation documents, we can compare the original aspirations with the current objectives and see if they are compatible with Cape Verde's ambitions... The regional bureaucratic system as a whole, governance within the major bodies and different organs, the structural aspects of the ECOWAS administration, are analyzed to highlight the role and power of the Commission internally on the executive level and in the operation of specialized agencies. A cross-sectional study of these mechanisms highlights the influence of « new public management » in regional public policies and the privatization of the institution. Cape Verde's involvement is limited to diplomatic aspects, interest in development programs and the requirements of international donors. However, the issues related to transport and the exploitation of natural resources at the regional level could structurally transform the Cape Verdean economy in the long term. However, it is noted that the government strategy and international aid are not oriented towards exploring these possibilities but on the contrary aligned with the imperatives of the climate emergency and environmental constraints in terms of energy transition. However, the path of industrialization could be an alternative to escape subalternity, if it were not conditioned by the global agenda that determines the priority trends of interventions at the regional level
As especificidades do arquipélago cabo-verdiano no contexto regional da África Ocidental são regularmente utilizadas no discurso público para justificar a complexidade do processo. O quadro social cultural e a crioulização histórica são apresentados como as causas originais da singularidade cabo-verdiana na África Ocidental. No entanto, a análise retrospetiva do comércio e da circulação na região proporciona o acesso a certas chaves de compreensão necessárias para a interpretação dos relatórios estaduais regionais de hoje. Certamente que a geografia, a unidade « étnica » da nação, etc., fazem da construção do Estado cabo-verdiano uma excepção no seio da comunidade. Contudo, será isto suficiente para explicar a relação entre Cabo Verde e a CEDEAO ? Segundo analistas cabo-verdianos e profissionais nacionais, a política externa do país caracteriza-se como pragmática. A abordagem comunitária é descrita como uma estratégia que permitiria combinar diferentes âncoras institucionais, mantendo ao mesmo tempo uma certa independência. Se é certo que em teoria é possível ser membro da CPLP, ter uma parceria (especial) com a União Europeia, a ONU ou os Estados Unidos… Na prática, quais as consequências concretas da sobreposição destes compromissos, nomeadamente, em termos de : segurança, mobilidade, comércio. Quando o assunto é defesa, como se posiciona perante os conflitos? Nas fronteiras, que regras devem ser aplicadas? Para o comércio, que normas devem ser favorecidas? Por outro lado, a especificidade cabo-verdiana é tida em conta durante o processo de desenvolvimento das políticas regionais da CEDEAO (de acordo com o texto inicial)? Ao abordar a integração regional a partir do modelo organizacional da sua administração e do funcionamento operacional das suas instituições e ao remontar às origens coloniais da União Europeia, conseguimos destacar as origens do mimetismo institucional da CEDEAO em relação à UE. Assim, analisando os instrumentos jurídicos (tratados, protocolos adicionais) e revendo os documentos de orientação estratégica da instituição, conseguimos comparar as aspirações originais com os objectivos actuais e ver se são compatíveis com as ambições de Cabo Verde… O sistema burocrático regional como um todo, a governação dentro dos principais órgãos e diferentes órgãos, os aspetos estruturais da administração da CEDEAO, são analisados para destacar o papel e o poder da Comissão internamente em termos de executivo e no funcionamento das agências especializadas. Um estudo transversal destes mecanismos permite evidenciar a influência da « new public management » nas políticas públicas regionais e na privatização da instituição. O envolvimento de Cabo Verde limita-se aos aspectos diplomáticos, ao interesse pelos programas de desenvolvimento e às necessidades dos doadores internacionais. No entanto, as questões ligadas aos transportes e à exploração dos recursos naturais na região poderão transformar estruturalmente a economia cabo-verdiana a longo prazo. No entanto, notamos que a estratégia governamental e a ajuda internacional não estão orientadas para a exploração destas possibilidades mas, pelo contrário, alinhadas com os imperativos da emergência climática e dos constrangimentos ambientais em termos de transição energética. No entanto, o caminho para a industrialização poderia ser uma saída alternativa para a subalternidade, se não fosse condicionado pela agenda global que determina tendências prioritárias para intervenções à escala regional

Full textThe Economic Community of West-African States is a sub-regional organization that was created in 1975, initially with a purely economic purpose. Since its inception, the organization has observed a clear principle of non-interference in its member-states” internal affairs. But since then, the recrudescence of coups that affected political stability in various member-states and economic development for the sub-region, have led the organization to operate a change in its doctrine and missions. Indifferent to the political regimes of its member-states, and their effect on Human rights protection, ECOWAS has been increasingly involved in conflict prevention and anti- constitutional changes in power. For ECOWAS, coups fall under its mission to promote and preserve sub-regional collective security. Since the 1993 revision of the Lagos Treaty that saw its creation, ECOWAS pays close attention to the inner working of its member-states” institutions, the legality and constitutionality of power transfers as well as the protection of Human rights. This dissertation deals with the instruments developed by the sub-regional organization to prevent and counter anti- constitutional power transfers. It pays attention to the progresses made as well the tools missing from ECOWAS’ legal arsenal. At last, this dissertation offers a set of proposals designed to improve the organization’s capacity to prevent and respond to coups threatening its member- states political stability and the region’s security

Full textThis thesis aims at analyzing the nature and scope of attempts at institutionalizing a regional security regime within the framework of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The end of the Cold War and globalization led to changes in the nature of conflicts and modified the parameters for the UN and the Great Powers in the area of peacekeeping. The multiplication of internal and regional conflicts led to the emergence of new security actors who put an end to the monopolization of peacekeeping and security operations by the traditional actors like the UN. From 1990 on, a progressive "securization" of non-military stakes (political, social, economic and environmental issues) took place in West Africa under the auspices of CEDEAO, with the goal of creating a security community. Based on empirical evidence of CEDEAO interventions in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea-Bissau among others, we analyze why and how the regionalization of peace operations produced transformations, notably the crafting of an integration policy and the reformulation of security stakes in the region. Such reflection leads us to comprehend CEDEAO not only as a region, but also as a security actor in the field of International Relations. Drawing upon diverse approaches (functionalist, constructivist, and realist) we not only explore the regional security regime construction process in an empirical and institutional perspective, but also analyze difficulties, lessons learned and actor strategies in the field of peace operations. Since peacekeeping is traditionally an open field with many competing actors, we also investigate into the coordination of their interventions

Full textThe understanding of the tandem of sustainable development and investment treaty has long been seen in terms of contradiction. Indeed, although there is a consensus on the importance of investments as a vehicle for Sustainable Development, the only international instruments specifically dedicated to them [investment treaties] generally pay little or no attention to this objective; they are designed with the sole aim of ensuring high protection for investors and their investments. Over the past decade, however, new models of investment treaties have emerged in African regional organizations with the sole aim of promoting investments that support sustainable development. However, this paradigm shift, which now advocates the compatibility of the legal regime of transnational investment with social and environmental requirements, raises some questions. Among these is the question of how the commitment to sustainable development is concretely reflected in these regional treaties. The issue is crucial, especially when one considers the difficulties surrounding the analysis of Sustainable Development, a concept and objective that is both multidimensional and evolving. In that regard, the study of ECOWAS and SADC instruments reflected the consideration of Sustainable Development at two levels. First, adaptation, through the amendment of the traditional clauses of investment treaties (Part I). Secondly, innovation, through the introduction of provisions which had not previously existed in Treaty practice (Part II)

Full textThe African continent is distinguished by the proliferation of organizations with an integrative vocation. These organizations adopt acts that are binding on the Member States as well as on community structures and which are intended to be applied to individuals. In this context, Community courts are called upon to play a central role in the integration process.It appears, however, that the Community jurisdictions of Africa in general and of West and Central Africa in particular still play a rather unclear role, hence the trampling of the integration process.What factors hinder the full effectiveness of these jurisdictions and what improvements could be made to make them engines of regional integration? To answer these questions we are interested both in the vertical relationship involving jurisdictions, Member States and Community institutions, as well as in the horizontal relationship, that is to say with national courts on the one hand and Community courts on the other. A restructuring as well as a re-reading of the different lines of law are then proposed

Full textThe framework of Geweke (1982, 1984) improved by Chen et al. (2008)is used in this thesis to conduct Granger causality between finance and growth in the context of West Africa. We adopt the time - and frequency- approaches to bring out instantaneous causality and dependence by employing vector autoregressive models. In this work, we propose p-values computations more suitable for small sample size. Empirical investigations examine, successively, causal links between finance and growth, the impact of inflation on these links, and the conditional relationships between growth and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to financial development and economic openness

Full textOver many years, numerous African States are facing serious issues due to the reappraisal or challenges of their so called democratic political system. Also, in the year 2008, the existing political conditions in both Mauritania and Guinea were destroyed by a coup d'état known as coup (e.g., putsch, or an overthrow), respectively in August and December of the same year; And over the days, these two states entered into political crisis considered as implying actions to be taken or steps toward civil war. The international community is highly considering these above mentions two states, for they are respectively parts the very geographical spaces threatened by constant instability such as the Sahel-Saharan zone (e.g., Mauritania) and the west-African sub-region (e.g., Guinea). In accordance with regulations and provisions by international law, we could acknowledge the involvement of the international community amongst the African Union, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), France and the United States, in order to lead the post-crisis process in each country. This thesis endeavors to investigate all the aspects with respect of these foreign interventionists, while highlighting the factors that trigger off these two political crises. Meanwhile, this thesis contributes to examine the principles and fundamental stakeholders of this external interference from these countries. Hence, the overall system, allows understanding the versatility of external forces or foreign actors standing out each coup d'état or "stroke of state"

Full textFrench local authorities and those of countries of CEMAC and ECOWAS were given under the principle of free administration, new competences to lead actions abroad as a decentralized cooperation. If interstate cooperation allowed to lay the foundations of community law, the decentralized cooperation can help to stimulate and strengthen integration. That such cooperation is intra-European or intra-African, the role played by local authorities is crucial, in spite of the fundamental attributes of states in matter of diplomacy and sovereignty. Inspired design doctrinal and French experiences of decentralized cooperation the territorial francophone African States have the assets to help boost African community integration. However battle for peace, democracy, local development, the right governance and the struggle against poverty always require more efforts at sub-regional level. That’s why, the issue of decentralized cooperation demands responses based on a big complementarity and a synergy between all the actors namely citizens, local powers, traditional authorities, lay people, central powers and community institutions

Full textBenin shares nearly 2000 km of borders with Nigeria, Togo, Niger and Burkina Faso. Cross- border dynamics, which are particulary important, highlight both the irrelevance of hastily- drawn colonial boundaries-barriers and of models of regional integration in West Africa. On the borders of neighbour states, economically, ethnically and culturally homogenous cross- border territories relativize the concept of border-line, without, however, eliminating institutional, administrative and political differences. These “floating” territories, characterized by an “in between” syndrome, have extraordinary potential for integration that could be feth implemented more in a decentralized administrative context. The question is that of strategies and modalities of regional integration in West Africa. The absence of political will cannot suffice to explain the emptiness of integration processes. This dissertation offers perspectives for defining a new matrix in international relations and public policies, in addition to traditional approaches to analyzing regional integration mechanisms in West Africa. The great challenge is to find ways for communities and identities that transcend national borders to flourish in a bottom-up logic, without ethnic fact or autonomous local dynamics being seen as challenging the sovereignty of states and their prerogatives. The deep cultural unity of the region is a fundamental asset for public action. Because it is only rooted in its culture and its history, the African can reinvent for himself a homeland free from national borders. Hence the relevance of cross-border cooperation, an attempt to endogenise integration mechanisms, an attempt to put local development at the service of regional integration. It should characterize a second strategic development of ECOWAS. Created on 28 May 1975 in Lagos, ECOWAS intended to break with colonial balkanization and to provide the region with an integrated economic and social area. As early as 1990, the organization took an overtly political turn with soaring internal conflicts and its peacekeeping interventions. Cross-border cooperation, which is a new concept in West Africa, should give ECOWAS a second hope

Full textGeneral speaking, humans rights are recognized in all cultures in the name of dignity that is attributed to humans. Africa recognize privileges to men to preserve their pride and respect women in their home work. Beyong the domestic sphere, woman have difficulty to get more rights and freedom. The awareness of head of state and governement of the situation, gave some regional rules to protect women rights in the african countries. Our assignment in this study is to devellope theories and practics witch are for or against women right évolution in west Africa, specialy in Ivory Cost and in Mali states where national laws are ambiguous as to women rights protection. We note that women rights changes according to religion convictions, culture, the traditional practice in each country. This situation is also favored by the legislative deficit that need to be repared. It is aloso apparent that women rights promotion and garanted in war situation that Africa states know continualy and in where women and children are the favorit targets. So lets try to find how to integrate women rights protection to african costums

Full textAfrican countries have been experiencing an increasing number of constitutional amendments, mainly affecting the presidential term limit clause. Leaders, who initiate them, seek to facilitate their re-election. Such reformist inclinations lead to major political and social crises. From the political actors, civil society organisations and citizen movements point of view, the presidential term limit clause is a key feature of constitutions and as such it should not be the subject of constitutional amendments. This thesis aims at demonstrating that constitutional amendment power is not absolute power. It must comply with two requirements. The first is formal. The amendment process provided by constitutions needs to be followed. The second is an objective. The duty of constitutional amendment power is to consolidate the institutional system by preserving its founding principles. These form the basic structure of constitutions. In Africa, it appears that these two requirements are not always observed when amending constitutions. This research also highlights that at both national and regional levels, there is a set of original mechanisms supervising constitutional amendment power, which are political and jurisdictional, but still in their infancy

Full textThe Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is one of the most dynamic African "regional economic communities". Its goals span fields of economy, security and defense, human rights and, soon, monetary issues. When it was created in 1975, thanks to a treaty of co-operation pulling together 15 of the 16 West African States, the Community aimed only at carrying out joint programs related to economic issues. This initial project was undermined by armed conflicts in some states, as well as internal turmoil in some others. To respond to this security threat and to strengthen economic efficiency, ECOWAS has been transformed into a political and economic integration community in 1993. It then put emphasis on human rights. As such, the design process of its jurisdictional system is a genuine original experience.We can argue that there has been a real process of jurisdictionalization of the Community for twenty years. The Community institutions have been the subject of many reforms, some still in progress. The goal of these reforms is to create a more balanced distribution of power among the institutions. Within them, the Community jurisdiction, created in 1993, strengthened its activities by allowing referral from private persons, particularly in the field of human rights. Complaints procedures are governed by Community law, but the substantive law derives from the Court's interpretation of international human rights instruments. Its case law, which is systematically analyzed by our thesis, remains strongly marked by an asymmetry between the rapidly growing human rights litigation and that of the economy, which is still almost non-existent. However, in advancing the principles of democracy, the rule of law and human rights, it is the legal security and economic integration that the Community deepens, with the main objective to promote development. Safeguarding this highly unified legal and jurisdictional system is paramount

Full textThe African continent has experienced a long period of conflict in the 1990s, this periodcoincides with the exhaustion of purely altruistic policies of Western countries, increasinglyreluctant to commit troops in conflicts that are not theirs.In Africa, peacekeeping is a challenge of all time, the African Union must respond to threatsagainst peace and security through collective responses based and supported by coherentmechanisms.In a conflict resolution controlled and centralized by the United nations Security Council, hasgradually established an alliance between the UN system and the African Union. Theassertion of the interdependencies in the search for stability involves the coordination ofstrategies and programs of security and defense between the different actors of peace on thecontinent.The mechanisms of action are reconsidered and the strategies changed. And to avoid thejuxtaposition of actors and avoiding chaos, cohesion and coordination among institutions isgaining momentum, its dash.ECOWAS has a proven ability to lead a peacekeeping force until the cease-fire and the returnof peace in the conflict in Liberia. It has mechanisms recognized and structured interventionthat will serve lever to the African Union in developing its own tools for peacekeeping andsecurity sub-regional and regional.Conflict management will be renovated with a real architecture of peace and security of theAfrican Union, which now has functional mechanisms and African forces trained, operationaland especially interoperable with the forces of international organizations.The issue of security and stability in Africa and the challenges of reconstruction it poses,necessitated the redefinition of international relations in sub-Saharan Africa.These issues will enable the African Union to work out for developing and establishingconflict management on the continent

Full textThis paper draws lessons from the Eurozone which represents the most advanced stage of economic integration in the European Union. However the alternative adjustment mechanisms in place there prove to be insufficient to absorb asymmetric shocks endured by member states. We used various methods such as convergence barometers, decision tree classification, and Merton model in order to assess the effectiveness of the economic policies in place within the WAEMU . We studied, through empirical data from 1994 to 2015, the heterogeneity of the main macroeconomic aggregates between the countries of the area and it’s evolution over time. Contrary to expectations, discrepancies still exist between countries. In accordance with the goal of macroeconomic policy measured, our results reveal that either the effects of migration between groups, or the changes in performance within groups give an account of the changes in performance inside groups. Our investigations eventually brings to light that the expansion to the ECOWAS amplifies the divergences.Lastly, our results show that the Taylor rule has been well put to use in comparison to targeted inflation since 2003. This rule can be regarded as a "basic rule" adaptable to the policy of the future central bank after having lifted the difficulty in determining the reference values in these heterogeneous economic areas
