【 摘 要 】

The article focuses on the place of cross-border cooperation in the construction of regional integrations, by crossing the analysis of two regions in the global South which have largely inspired the European model: the Central American Integration System (SICA in Spanish) and a whole formed by the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA in French) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS, CEDEAO in French). It’s about questioning the political and territorial issues of regional integration processes by focusing on what is happening on their internal borders, regional integration having the objective of removing the barriers related to their presence. The authors analyze how cross-border cooperation processes have been promoted as regional integration tools in each of the two groups studied. Then, the comparison allows to identify common obstacles and barriers, but also to highlight a move towards differentiated cross-border cooperation and integration models.
