Resumo: The regional economic blocs are today important tools in the fight against poverty, underdevelopment and the global economy and integration in West Africa (WA) presents one of the regions most affected. Aware of this reality, the article deals with the hypothesis that integration is the condition sine qua non even if insufficient for the development of WA. The objective is to demonstrate the various integrationist initiatives in WA, the achievements obtained despite the specificity of the region, as well as the odds and obstacles encountered. We conclude that despite all the problems and even if such integration does not follow Western standards, the establishment of a monetary union without a minimum area itself is a success, some critics oppose this form of Western literature ever catalog failures of the African integration.

Consciente desta realidade, o artigo trabalha com a hipótese de a integração ser a condição sine qua non mesmo que insuficiente para o desenvolvimento da região. O objetivo é demonstrar as diversas iniciativas integracionistas na AO, os logros obtidos apesar da especificidade da região, assim como as adversidades e obstáculos encontrados. Conclui-se que apesar dos problemas e mesmo que essa integração não siga os padrões ocidentais, o estabelecimento de uma união monetária numa zona sem condições mínimas por si só, é um êxito, opondo desta forma as críticas da literatura ocidental que quase sempre catalogam de fracassadas as integrações africanas.UFRGS2011-11-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/ConjunturaAustral/article/view/2345910.22456/2178-8839.23459Conjuntura Austral; Vol. 2 No. 8 (2011); Pág. 18-47Conjuntura Austral; Vol. 2 Núm. 8 (2011); Pág. 18-47Conjuntura Austral; v. 2 n. 8 (2011); Pág. 18-472178-8839reponame:Conjuntura Australinstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/ConjunturaAustral/article/view/23459/14003Fernandes, Lito NunesBoukounga, Jean ChristianJúnior, José Fernandesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-07-21T19:23:57Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/23459Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/ConjunturaAustralPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/ConjunturaAustral/oaiconjunturaaustral@ufrgs.br||reisdasilva@hotmail.com||nerint@ufrgs.br||andre.reis@ufrgs.br2178-88392178-8839opendoar:https://seer.ufrgs.br/ConjunturaAustral/oaihttps://seer.ufrgs.br/ConjunturaAustral/oai2020-07-21T19:23:57Conjuntura Austral - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
