Abstract

ABSTRACT The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) was founded exclusively to focus on economic integration. However, in 1976, the Nigerian government proposed the adoption of a non-aggression protocol to regulate issues of regional collective security. The proposal was accepted in principle and the secretariat was tasked to formulate policy prescriptions for adoption of the decision organs. Using historical techniques, this article peruses existing literature, official reports and minutes of meetings of the ECOWAS authority and Council of Ministers to highlight the successes of the executive secretariat and reflect on the political, structural and security challenges that it encountered in facilitating the implementation of inter-organisational cooperation in the Liberian crisis.

西非经共体集体安全框架的执行情况：多边合作在利比里亚危机中的作用

摘要西非国家经济共同体（西非经共体）的成立完全是为了关注经济一体化。然而，1976年，尼日利亚政府提议通过一项互不侵犯议定书，以规范地区集体安全问题。该提案原则上得到接受，秘书处的任务是为通过决策机构制定政策规定。本文运用历史技巧，仔细阅读了西非经共体当局和部长理事会的现有文献、官方报告和会议记录，以突出执行秘书处的成功，并反思其在促进利比里亚危机中实施组织间合作方面遇到的政治、结构和安全挑战。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
