This comprehensive book delves into the multifaceted role of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission, exploring its functions as both an autonomous entity and a central hub for policy-making among its member states and external stakeholders. Drawing from a wealth of previously unexplored sources, including unpublished internal documents and over 120 in-depth interviews with staff members, representatives from member states, and external actors supporting the organization, the book presents a detailed and insightful portrait of ECOWAS's institutional capabilities, challenges, and ongoing reforms.

Utilizing a policy studies approach, the book focuses on key areas such as political affairs, peace, regional security, trade, and customs, providing concrete examples of policy-making within ECOWAS. By examining these domains, the book offers valuable insights into the policy-making agency within the organization and advocates for the ECOWAS Commission's significance as a key player in West African and international affairs.

The book is of immense interest to scholars and students specializing in West Africa and its international relations, comparative regionalism, international organization studies, development studies, policy-making, peace and conflict studies, governance, and African politics and international relations. It provides a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the complexities of regional cooperation, governance, and development in the African continent.
