- Title

- Authors

- Abstract
The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) since its establishment in 1975 has accomplished many aspects of its regional integration objective, despite some difficulties. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the revised Treaty, the Community is supposed to take steps that ensure development/harmonization and/or coordination of national policies. However, the capacity of the Community on the implementation of the revised Treaty and other norms has been constantly challenged by diverse factors. Its performance in the domains of citizenship, military and security is no exception. These challenges are preventing the regional organization from achieving its integration goal, which is the envisioned path to regional development. This paper therefore analyses the organization's progress on citizenship, military and security performance and how it influences the development of ECOWAS.
