"Entre le VIIIe et le XVe siècle ont existé au Sahel nombre de villes-marchés, de cité-États, de royaumes et de sultanats. La plus célèbre et la mieux documentée de ces formations politiques est le sultanat du Mali (XIIIe-XVe siècle). S'y rapportent tant l'épopée de Sunjata, texte monument de la tradition orale, que la "charte du Manden", parfois présentée comme la première déclaration des droits humains. Il est évoqué dans plusieurs des "manuscrits de Tombouctou" rédigés au XVIIe siècle. Au milieu du XIVe, Ibn Battuta aurait séjourné dans la capitale du sultanat, relatant son voyage dans sa fameuse Rihla. Quelques décennies plus tôt, en 1323-1325, son chef Mansa Musa avait défrayé la chronique des savants mamelouks lors de son pèlerinage vers La Mecque via Le Caire. C'est alors, sans doute, que nous sommes au plus proche du Mali médiéval. À défaut de sources internes, ce pôle majeur de l'Afrique au Moyen Âge n'est en effet accessible qu'au travers de ces regards portés sur lui au fil du temps. D'où la nécessité d'une archéologie du savoir, à même de démêler et de comprendre les multiples transformations des manières d'appréhender le Mali, du XIVe siècle à nos jours. C'est à cette ambitieuse entreprise qu'est consacré cet ouvrage qui, de manière régressive, restitue les métamorphoses des représentations du Mali, pour mieux éclairer ce qu'il est possible de connaître de son histoire."--Page 4 of cover.

This chapter evaluates whether a monetary union makes economic sense and discusses the institutional requirements for a successful Monetary Union in West Africa (ECOWAS). The chapter considers how best the political momentum for a union can be channeled toward a fundamental improvement in underlying policies. The paper also reviews the economic situation of the ECOWAS members, with the objective of evaluating the ease with which they can proceed to a common currency. Regional integration resulting in greater trade among ECOWAS countries may help increase efficiency of production. Trade among developing countries, in general, is likely to have fewer efficiency benefits than trade with developed countries, however, because the possibilities of exploiting complementarities are less. The foregoing considerations suggest that the momentum in favor of monetary union should be channelled into the crucial first phase of enhanced mutual surveillance and emphasis on each country improving its macroeconomic and structural policies. Success in this endeavor would in and of itself help to increase exchange rate stability.
