Abstract
[This paper analyses the obstacles to strengthening economic integration in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU). Several studies show, firstly, that strengthening economic integration requires an increase of intra-trade in Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs). But it is not the case WAEMU where trade between member countries is rather low. This work identifies both the economic and political factors that limit economic integration in WAEMU and how they impact trade between members.]
