Abstract

AbstractThe paper discusses issues and challenges marring the regional implementation of the United Nations Global Counterterrorism Strategy in West Africa. It highlights economic, technology and socio-political factors that hinders the effective implementation of the strategy in the subregion which has become the hotbed of global terrorism. The study concludes that ECOWAS has the enabling instruments and institutions to implement the strategy. It therefore recommends the strengthening of existing institutions, enhancement of human security indices, and massive investment in infrastructural facilities, as measures to facilitate the implementation of the strategy in the subregion. Keywords: United Nations Global Counterterrorism Strategy, West Africa, Implementation La Implementación Regional de la Estrategia Global de las Naciones Unidas Contraterrorismo en África Occidental: Los Problemas y Desafíos El documento analiza los problemas y desafíos que obstaculizan la implementación regional de la Estrategia Global de las Naciones Unidas Contraterrorismo en África Occidental.

El estudio concluye que la ECOWAS tiene los instrumentos y instituciones apropriados que le permiten implementar la estrategia.

联合国全球反恐战略在西非的区域执行:问题和挑战

摘要本文讨论了在西非地区实施联合国全球反恐战略所面临的问题和挑战。它强调了经济、技术和社会政治因素阻碍了该战略在已成为全球恐怖主义温床的分区域的有效执行。该研究的结论是，西非经共体拥有执行该战略的有利手段和机构。因此，委员会建议加强现有机构，提高人类安全指数，对基础设施进行大量投资，作为促进在该分区域执行战略的措施。关键词:联合国全球反恐战略,西非,实现区域de La La Implementacion Estrategia全球de las nacion Unidas Contraterrorismo en非洲西方:洛杉矶Problemas y Desafios El documento analiza洛杉矶Problemas y Desafios, obstaculizan La Implementacion地区de La Estrategia全球de las nacion Unidas Contraterrorismo西方在非洲。Destaca factores económicos, tecnológicos y sociopolíticos que difficulty la implementación effective de la estrategia en la subregión que se ha convertido en el semillero del terrorismo global。西非经共体的最后一项任务是通过适当的机构制定执行战略。穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人，穷人。Palabras clave: Naciones Unidas La strategia de Contraterrorismo Global， África Occidental, Implementación

期刊介绍： AUSTRAL: Brazilian Journal of Strategy and International Relations was the first Brazilian journal in the area of International Relations to be fully published in English (2012). It is an essentially academic vehicle, linked to the Brazilian Centre of Strategy & International Relations (NERINT) and the Doctoral Program in International Strategic Studies (PPGEEI) of the Faculty of Economics (FCE) of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). Its pluralist focus aims to contribute to the debate on the international political and economic order from the perspective of the developing world. The journal publishes original articles in the area of Strategy and International Relations, with special interest in issues related to developing countries and South-South Cooperation – its security problems; the political, economic and diplomatic developments of emerging countries; and their relations with the traditional powers. AUSTRAL is published semi-annually in English and Portuguese. The journal’s target audience consists of researchers, experts, diplomats, military personnel and graduate students of International Relations. The content of the journal consists of in-depth analytical articles written by experts (Professors and Doctors), focusing on each of the great continents of the South: Asia, Latin America and Africa. Thus, the debate and diffusion of knowledge produced in these regions is stimulated. All contributions submitted to AUSTRAL are subject to rigorous scientific evaluation.
