This book delves into the evolving roles of regional civil society organizations in West Africa. By examining their participation in democratic processes, engagement in regional integration, and contributions to peacebuilding, it challenges conventional understandings of civil society in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) region.
Beyond the traditional categorization of civil society actors as partners, legitimizers, resistance/counter-hegemonic, or manipulators, the book proposes a novel analytical framework to understand the evolution of organizations such as the West African Civil Society Forum (WACSOF) and the West African Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP). It offers insightful perspectives on the agency of specific regional civil society actors, highlighting the tendency to generalize their actions or misdeeds to the broader civic space of the region.
By presenting an alternative viewpoint, the book aims to initiate a fresh intellectual discourse on civil society regionalism. It advances a comprehensive analytical framework encompassing action-based regional identity, regional presence of activities, regional capacities, and societal impact. This work will appeal to academics and scholars specializing in international relations, global governance, African politics, and comparative regionalism.
