Abstract
Subtitled “Getting it right at the outset is crucial: the nexus between regional institutional design and enforcement,” the presentation uses two regional groups to illustrate where there are points of ineffectiveness in the collaboration of national competition authorities: the case of ECOWAS (currently 15 member countries in the Economic Community of West African States); and of WAEMU (the West African Economic and Monetary Union of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo). In offsetting design flaws at the regional level, alliance building at the beginning may prove more constructive.
