Africa, Conflict, PeacekeepingResumo
This article aims at analyzing the role played by ECOWAS in the Ivorian and Malian crises. We argue that ECOWAS in many circumstances help to de-escalate violence at the first stage of conflict in Mali and Côte d’Ivoire. However, the inefficiency of the ECOWAS to resolve conflict in the region makes it seem useless for the West African.
Keywords: ECOWAS, Mali, Côte d’Ivoire.
RESUMO
Este artigo visa analisar o papel desempenhado pela CEDEAO nas crises da Costa do Marfim e do Mali. Argumentamos que a CEDEAO, em muitas circunstâncias, ajuda a diminuir a violência no primeiro estágio do conflito em Mali e na Costa do Marfim. Entretanto, a ineficiência da CEDEAO em resolver o conflito na região faz com que pareça inútil para a África Ocidental.
Palavras-chave: CEDEAO, Mali, Côte d’Ivoire.
