Resumo: Regional integration studies suffer from a Eurocentric bias, as low attention has been given to models different from the European Union. Through this research we will offer an analysis of the regional integration process developed by ECOWAS in West Africa, which, framed in the second wave of regionalism in Africa, was catalyzed by security cooperation in 1990. Its integration evolution is focused in three main axes: economy, security and rule of law. The ECOWAS operations around the presidential elections in 2016 in The Gambia demonstrate that by fostering common institutions sovereignty of States is also strengthened, as rule of law promotion mechanisms benefit the domestic capacity of Member States to provide respect of Human Rights and democratic governance.

Através desta pesquisa, ofereceremos uma análise do processo de integração regional desenvolvido pela CEDEAO na África Ocidental, que, enquadrado na segunda onda de regionalismo na África, foi catalisado pela cooperação em segurança em 1990. A evolução do seu processo de integração está focada em três eixos principais: economia, segurança e estado de direito. As operações da CEDEAO nas eleições presidenciais de 2016 na Gâmbia demonstram que, ao promover instituições comuns, a soberania dos Estados também é fortalecida, pois os mecanismos de promoção do estado de direito beneficiam a capacidade doméstica dos Estados Membros de respeitar os Direitos Humanos e a governabilidade democrática.2020-12-05T00:00:00Z2019-12-05T00:00:00Z2019-12-052019-10info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/19574TID:202358054engAlcázar, María Rodríguezinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T18:01:11Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/19574Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:32:38.737909Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
