Abstract
Structural adjustment programmes and regional integration schemes have been pursued simultaneously in West Africa for about a decade now, yet no serious systematic effort has been made by any agency or donor to explore effective ways in which the two might be interwoven and made mutually reinforcing. Professor Ezenwe examines the interrelationships and apparent conflicts between these two development strategies.
