Abstract: This paper explores how cooperation among West African neighbours, exemplified by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), contributes to national security. Together, the ECOWAS nations can effectively address shared concerns such as criminality, terrorism, and conflicts. This paper examines how ECOWAS has carried out this throughout time. It also determines whether ECOWAS remains significant for contemporary national security. This work was guided by the complex interdependence theory.

Abstract: This study draws on family language policy (FLP) research to examine five groups of Chinese middle-class parents' ideological beliefs, practices, and management efforts related to their children's language development, including Putonghua, English, and Wuhan dialect. Based on data analysis of the semi-structured interviews, the study revealed that the participants considered Putonghua the most important language, with English the second and Wuhan dialect the last. Moreover, they showed strong, weak, and varying degrees of agency in children's language development of Putonghua, Wuhan dialect, and English. Additionally, the implementation of middle-class parental agency was influenced by factors at the macro, meso, and micro levels. Implications and limitations are discussed.
