“…The effectiveness of such regional cooperation depends on "the range of commitment of member states, shared values and interests, the institutional, financial, and material capacity, and the legitimacy of that involvement." 23 Additionally, security regionalism as mitigating force in CT-COIN could only be effective under the conditions of "strong regional institutions with a consistency of views and policy, an ability to act coherently, a willingness to pay the costs, a basis of economic power which would be attractive for other states of the region, and a strong military capability." 24 With a struggling economy and fractured regime in places like Mali and ensuing combative activities of various terrorist organizations in the Sahel, the military and nonmilitary commitment of governments in West Africa have been hampered.…”

The challenges of terrorism and insurgency have continued to attract regional response. A significant aspect of such response is the demonstration of shared responsibilities by various nation states in regional cooperation to stamp out the menace of terrorism. The EU member states for instance adopted a regional approach to counter transnational security threats by embracing common standards and unified approach to Counter-Terrorism and Counter-Insurgency (CT-COIN). Likewise in West Africa, the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) was recently reinvigorated to deal decisively with the cross-border terrorism in the Lake Chad Basin. This is in addition to other regional architecture that constitutes the needed ingredients of regional cooperation in West Africa. The operations and activities of these regional outfits have been destabilized by several challenges due to the peculiarities of security cooperation at a regional scale. Against this background, this article examines regional cooperation within the context of CT-COIN in West Africa with a view to establishing the challenges of such collaboration. The article unbundles the dynamics of terrorism and insurgency in West Africa. It engages the regional architecture for CT-COIN in the region and it underscores the challenges of regional cooperation. The article offers some measures for improving regional cooperation for an improved CT-COIN in West Africa.

Bu çalışma, uluslararası sistemin yapısal unsurlarının, devlet ve devlet dışı aktörleri kapsayan bölgesel ölçekteki yapıların ortaya çıkışı, doğası ve işlevi üzerindeki etkisi üzerine odaklanmaktadır. Modern anlamdaki bölgeselcilik hareketlerinin çıkışından bugüne içerisinde şekillendikleri uluslararası konjonktürü karşılaştırmalı olarak ele almak suretiyle kutupluluk gibi makro faktörlerin yanı sıra güvenlik kaygıları, yumuşama, ekonomi, küreselleşme gibi görece ikincil nitelikteki dinamiklerin söz konusu aktörlerin bölgeselcilik hareketleri ile ilintili davranışları üzerindeki belirleyici rolleri, analizin merkezinde yer alacaktır Olayları ve olguları, içerisinde gerçekleştikleri konjonktürel koşulları dikkate alarak analiz etmeye dayanan bağlamsal analiz metodu aracılığıyla Soğuk Savaş süresince ve sonrasında şekillenen bölgeselcilik hareketlerinin doğuşunu etkileyen faktörler incelenecektir. Bu yöntemsel çerçeve içerisinde, kutupluluk, güvenlik kaygıları ve küreselleşme gibi sistemik etmenlerin bölgeselcilik üzerindeki etkilerinin ne boyutta olduğu ve ne şekilde somutlaştığı incelenecektir.
