ECOWAS vs WAEMU: competition over peace and security roles in West Africa.

ECOWAS vs WAEMU: competition over peace and security roles in West Africa.

Abstract

Вопросы мира и безопасности очень важны для каждого правительства в Африке. Конфликты в Африке вспыхивают проще, чем в большинстве стран мира. Более трети всех миротворческих операций Организации Объединенных Наций в мире после окончания «холодной войны» имели место в Африке. По мере того, как региональные и субрегиональные организации встают на путь оказания помощи в поддержании мира и безопасности в Африке, роль Экономического сообщества западноафриканских стран(ЭКОВАС) в сфере конроля насилия в субрегионе Западной Африки ставится под сомнение стратегическим механизмом мира и безопасности Западноафриканским экономическим и валютным союзом (ЗАЭВС). В этой статье рассматриваются миротворческие возможности ЭКОВАС как регионального органа, которому поручено поддерживать мир в субрегионе, рассматривается и его структура формирования; применение его мандата в решении конфликтов; задачи, стоящие перед организацией при выполнении своих обязанностей; а также успехи, которых уже удалось достичь. В статье прослеживается связь между Францией, бывшей колониальной державой в Африке с ЗАЭВС, в котором заложена программа, дублирующая роль ЭКОВАС в поддержании безопасности, мира и порядка в субрегионе Западной Африки. В этой статье также сделано заключительное замечание о том, что ЗАЭВС может выступать в качестве геополитического механизма Франции для восстановления своего господства над западноафриканскими государствами и Африкой в ​​целом!

The questions of peace and security are of utmost importance for the government of each African state. In Africa, the conflicts flare up much easily that in majority of countries in the world. After the end of cold war, over a third of peacemaking operations of the United Nations worldwide took place in Africa. As the regional and subregional organizations adopt the path of helping to maintain peace and security in Africa, the role of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in the sphere violence control in the West African subregion is being doubted by a the strategic mechanism for peace and security of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU). This article examines the peacemaking capabilities of ECOWAS as a regional authority tasked with maintaining peace in the subregion; as well as discusses the structure of its establishment, application of its mandate in conflict resolutions, organization’s tasks in fulfilling its obligations, and the success it was able to achieve. The article traces the connection between France, as former colonial power in Africa and WAEMU, implies a program that duplicates ECOWAS’s role in maintaining security, peace and order in the West African subregion. This author underlines that WAEMU can manifests as a geopolitical mechanism of France for regaining its dominance over the West African states and Africa as a whole.
