There exists a proposition that 'once the process of integration
began in areas of low politics, they were bound to move on to
encompass areas of high politics' by the phenomenon of spillover
effects. This pattern was evidenced in the Regional integration
efforts in Europe - from the 'evolutionary trajectory' of the
European Coal and Steel Community to the ultimate Economic Union.
However, the same cannot be said for West African efforts typified
by ECOWAS, which was arguably mapped against the framework of its
erstwhile metropolitan powers in Europe. Indeed the evolution of
ECOWAS has been reflective of its domestic politics, entrenched
nationalistic tendencies and outright political instability, which
leave nothing to spill over. As the trade bloc savours its 36 year
of existence, it seems that the transition from infancy to
adolescence/ adulthood might have been checkered. Ultimately this
book provides some comparative analysis of both trade blocs/
customs unions.
