The contemporary international system is characterized by a deep transformation process. The end of the bipolar Cold War structure has given rise, directly or indirectly, to a tremendous amount of changes all over the world at all levels. In this regard, the mosaic of countries commonly referred to as West Africa constitutes no exception, and the region is characterized by a complex mixture of various, partly reinforcing and partly contradictory, processes of structural change, the most important being globalization, region-alization and fragmentation from within (Keller and Rothchild, 1996; Shaw, 1993; Shaw and Okolo, 1994; Swatuk and Shaw, 1994; Zartman, 1994). In accordance with most other parts of the world, regionalism has attracted more attention in West Africa during the last decade. Although there is an intense debate on the form and content of regionalism in West Africa, today many analysts and policy-makers emphasize its importance for ensuring peace and development
