The talk will focus on the role of the Economic Communities of West African States (ECOWAS) in promoting democracy in the sub-region. While there are many reasons for the dynamics of democratic experiences on the continent, the capacity of the state and the nature of politics were key critical factors. This research seeks to explain the causes and processes of varied outcomes of democratic reforms in West Africa and the roles of the Economic Community of West African States in deepening democracy in the sub-region.\u00a0 Following the third wave of democracy (Huntington, 1991, Diamond, 1996) many countries in West Africa during the 1990s transitioned from autocratic regimes into democratic regimes, at least in terms of formally instituting competitive multiparty electoral systems.<\/p>\n
