We are thrilled to announce the highly anticipated National Remittance Summit 2024 set to take place on Friday the 14th of June 2024 in Brussels (Belgium).

In the light of this, the key question of the workshop is: to what extent is ECOWAS moving towards or away from the post-nationalism and decolonization scenario described by Aniche and colleagues, and why?
