THE POLITICS OF ECONOMIC REGIONALISM

The International Political Economy of New Regionalisms Series

The International Political Economy of New Regionalism Series presents innovative analyses of a range of novel regional relations and institutions. Going beyond established, formal, interstate economic organizations, this essential series provides informed interdisciplinary and international research and debate about myriad heterogeneous intermediate level interactions.

Reflective of its cosmopolitan and creative orientation, this series is developed by an international editorial team of established and emerging scholars in both the South and North. It reinforces ongoing networks of analysts in both academia and think-tanks as well as international agencies concerned with micro-, meso- and macro-level regionalisms.

1. Basic Indicators for West African States

In the process of writing this book, I have incurred a debt of gratitude to many people who have, in diverse ways, helped to make this project a success. I owe a special debt of gratitude to Peter Calvert and Caroline Thomas, both at Southampton University, for their academic guidance and constant support throughout my doctoral journey. To my West African friends at the ECOWAS headquarters in Abuja and the ECOWAS Fund Secretariat in Lom, I am grateful for the interviews and numerous discussions we had. I am immensely grateful to Carol Hutson, Mandy Oliver and Vivian Nassar for their technical expertise and eye for details, without which, the production of this book would have been frustratingly torturous.

Friends and loved ones, they say, are a happy part of life. This project would have been impossible without them. I am immensely grateful to Dagmar for her love and constant encouragement, and to Mohamed Kamanda and Mike Ward for their academic and moral support. I also acknowledge the fun and wonderful distractions provided by David Jr. I owe a special gratitude to my brothers and sisters; Peter, Paul, Paulina, Mary, Cecilia and Assumpta for their prayers, affection and patience in trying to understand my excitingly boring life. Above all, I thank my God for making this project possible.
