Overview

This second edition of The Evolving ECOWAS Normative Architecture and Contemporary Law maintains the main thrust of the original by analysing the Peace and Security Architecture of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The study highlights the institutional transformation of ECOWAS from an economic organisation into one that promotes a rules-based system anchored in democratic norms and the rule of law for regional stability and effective integration. It reconciles legal principles with the evolving norm of responsibility to protect, considering the growing importance of respect for human rights. In addition to a thorough analysis of ECOWAS' intervention in The Gambia and an evaluation of the regional bloc's good governance agenda, the new edition also delves into the withdrawal of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger from ECOWAS on January 29, 2025 and its implications for the sub-region's and continental integration.
