This anthology publishes papers presented at Ghana's national seminar in "Nation-states and the Challenge of Regional Integration in West Africa : the case of Ghana", held in Accra from 8 to 9 November 2005.
The contributors suggest that Ghana's reluctance to relinquish its sovereignty stemmed from a lack of commitment in the first 20 years of ECOWAS' existence and preoccupation with its own security and survival against internal and external threats. The state has currently demonstrated renewed commitment by establishing a Ministry of Regional Cooperation and the New Agenda for Africa's Development (NEPAD) to coordinate and manage the sub-regional integration programme.
