{{Politics of Senegal}}
Senegal's first President, [[Léopold Senghor]], advocated close [[France–Senegal relations|relations with France]] and negotiation and compromise as the best means of resolving international differences after Senegal's independence from its status as a [[French colony]]. To a large extent, the two succeeding presidents, [[Abdou Diouf]] and [[Abdoulaye Wade]], have carried on Senghor's policies and philosophies. [[Senegal]] has long supported functional integration among [[French West Africa|French-speaking West African states]] through the [[West African Economic and Monetary Union]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Foreign Policy of Senegal Since 2000 |url=https://saiia.org.za/research/the-foreign-policy-of-senegal-since-2000/ |access-date=2022-05-05 |website=SAIIA |language=en-GB}}</ref>

Senegal has a high profile in many [[international organization]]s and was a member of the [[UN Security Council]] in 1988–89. It was elected to the [[UN Commission on Human Rights]] in 1997. Friendly to the West, especially to France and to the United States, Senegal also is a vigorous proponent of more [[Aid|assistance]] from developed countries to the [[Third World]]. Additionally, Senegal has been a member state of the [[African Union]] since 1963.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Member States {{!}} African Union |url=https://au.int/en/member_states/countryprofiles2 |access-date=2022-05-05 |website=au.int}}</ref> 

Senegal borders [[The Gambia]], [[Mauritania]], [[Mali]], [[Guinea]], and [[Guinea-Bissau]]. Senegal enjoys mostly cordial relations with its neighbors. In spite of clear progress on other fronts with [[Mauritania]] (border security, resource management, economic integration, etc.), there remains the problem of an estimated 30,000 Black Mauritanian [[refugee]]s living in Senegal.

Senegal is also a member of the [[International Criminal Court]] with a [[Bilateral Immunity Agreement]] of protection for the US-military (as covered under [[Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court|Article 98]]).

== Pre-colonial foreign policy ==
Senegal was regarded as Senegambia before the arrival of Europeans (Jaiteh),<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.columbia.edu/~msj42/Senegambia.htm|title=Senegambia|last=Malanding|first=Jaiteh J.|date=16 December 2008|website=The Atlas of the Gambia|access-date=1 October 2019}}</ref> where a number of independent kingdoms settled. By the 15th century, when the first Europeans arrived, Senegambia was linked to intra and inter-regional (Decourse, 8)<ref>{{Cite book|title=West Africa during the Atlantic Slave Trade Archaeological Perspectives|last=DeCorse|first=Christopher R.|publisher=Leicester University Press|year=2001|location=London|page=8}}</ref> trade networks that extended throughout the coast. During the 17th and 18th centuries, the African slave trade took advantage of autonomous kingdoms such as, the Wolof and Jolof kingdoms (Tang, 3).<ref>{{Cite book|title=Masters of the Sabar: Wolof Griot Percussionists of Senegal|last=Tang|first=Patricia|publisher=Temple University Press|year=2007|location=Philadelphia|page=3}}</ref> The establishment of French colonies coupled with the competing hegemonic power between local ethnic groups within the Wolof kingdom led to a power void after traditional rulers could not prevent the French from impeding the establishments already in place by politicians and elites (Venema, 4) . The change from slave trade to the trade of cash crops set the precedent for the collapse of states within both empires (Gray, 3).<ref name=":2">{{Cite thesis |degree=PhD |title=The Groundnut Market in Senegal: Examination of Price and Policy Changes |publisher=Virginia Tech |last=Gray|first=James K.|s2cid=157599763|date=10 June 2002 |hdl=10919/28143 |hdl-access=free}}</ref> The French used Senegal's advantageous geographic location, on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, to safeguard their interest in the trade of groundnuts (Schraeder and Gaye, 488).<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last=Schraeder |first=Peter J. |others=Nefertiti Gaye |date=1997 |title=Senegal's Foreign Policy: Challenges of Democratization and Marginalization |journal=African Affairs |volume=96 |issue=385 |pages=485–508 |jstor=723816 |doi=10.1093/oxfordjournals.afraf.a007881}}</ref> The foreign policy of Senegal is also characterized by the religious values and beliefs of Islam. The spiritual traditions and foundations of Senegal represent another facet of foreign policy in and outside of the region. Political and diplomatic actors are ultimately determined by marabouts that intercede on behalf of the people to Allah (Schraeder and Gaye, 489).<ref name=":0" /> Some marabouts establish loyalist relationships of patron with political leaders. Marabouts do not make policy, but their support is essential to the stability of government (Behrman Creevey, 262).<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Behrman|first=Lucy Creevey|date=1977|title=Muslim Politics and Development in Senegal: The Journal of Modern African Studies|journal=The Journal of Modern African Studies |volume=15 |issue=2 |pages=261–277 |jstor=159921 |doi=10.1017/S0022278X00053933 |s2cid=154501016}}</ref>

== Independence (1960-1989) ==
Senegalese independence began in 1960 with [[Léopold Sédar Senghor|Léopold Sedar Sénghor]] as the first president and was succeeded by [[Abdou Diouf]] in 1980. Senegalese diplomats in the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs]] believe that West Africa must unite in order to not only remain competitive in an international economy dominated by superpowers like China and the United States, but also promote and consolidate economic development within West Africa.<ref name=":0" /> Senegalese policy officials prioritize and use the individual strengths of surrounding African countries in order to strengthen regional economies and weaken regional dependency on foreign actors. This combative approach for western influence is underscored in the Senegalese constitution in clause four of the preamble: "must spare no effort in the fulfillment of African Unity".<ref name=":0" /> These efforts have been actively pursued through formal diplomatic agreements with neighboring countries, such as the Mali Foundation in 1960, the Federation with Gambia from 1982 to 1989, as well as informal forms of cooperation such as the Inter-State Authority in the Fight Against Drought in the Sahel (CILSS), The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), The Joint African and Malagasy Organization (OCAM), the Organization for the Development of the Gambia River Valley (OMVG), and the Organization for the Development of the Senegal River Valley (OMVS).<ref name=":0" />

=== Cold War Foreign Policy ===
During the [[Cold War]], Senegal was part of the non-aligned world and remained neutral throughout the conflict. In 1965, the first Foreign Minister of Senegal, [[Doudou Thiam]], published a book titled "The Foreign Policy of African States."<ref name=":022">{{Cite book |last=Thiam |first=Doudou |title=The Foreign Policy of African States: Ideological Bases, Present Realities, and Future Prospects |publisher=Praeger |year=1965 |isbn=978-0-8371-8555-2 |location=New York}}</ref> Thiam implored Africa to move beyond the ideological divisions of the Cold War to form a third neutral ideology on which African states could build their own path.<ref name=":022" /> This concept of non-alignment became a central theme in Senegalese politics. Senegal's first President [[Léopold Sédar Senghor|Léopold Sedar Sénghor]] privileged the country's relationship with France and sided with French President Charles de Gaulle against "superpower" domination between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.<ref name=":0"/> France accounted for 95% of all investments in Senegal and 80% of Senegal's foreign trade in the 1960s.<ref name=":15">{{Cite journal |last=Steele |first=Robert |date=2020-08-20 |title=The Keur Farah Pahlavi Project and Iranian-Senegalese Relations in the 1970s |url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/product/identifier/S0021086200041001/type/journal_article |journal=Iranian Studies |language=en |volume=54 |issue=1–2 |pages=169–192 |doi=10.1080/00210862.2020.1792768 |s2cid=225244330 |issn=0021-0862}}</ref> Due to the close economic relationship between France and Senegal, Senegal appealed to French protectionism over West Africa, declining to move too closely to any superpower. Nonetheless, Senegal's ties with Western countries like France tilted its alignment westward.

==== "La Francophonie" ====
One of the important strategic goals of Senegalese leaders was the integration and cooperation of Francophone Africa; a policy known as "la Francophonie" coined by President Senghor.<ref name=":0" /> The promotion of this concept played a key role in the formation of worldwide summits, such as the Franco-African Summit, that allowed Senegal to emerge as a leader within the [[francophone]] movement in Africa, African consolidation, unification and cooperation are at the center of Senegalese foreign policy.<ref name=":0" /> Senegal was also one of the founding members of several organizations designed to integrate Francophone Africa, including the African and Malagasy Common Organization in 1961 and the Malian Federation in 1960.<ref name=":422">{{Cite web |last=Walters |first=Kurt Cornelis Frederik |date=June 1966 |title=The Mali Federation: A Case Study for Political Integration |url=https://scholarsbank.uoregon.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/1794/5886/Mali_federation.pdf;sequence=1 |access-date=April 27, 2022}}</ref><ref name=":3222">{{Citation |last1=Vinokurov |first1=Evgeny |title=Dissolution of Regional Organizations |date=2017 |work=Re-Evaluating Regional Organizations |pages=211–222 |place=Cham |publisher=Springer International Publishing |isbn=978-3-319-53054-3 |last2=Libman |first2=Alexander|doi=10.1007/978-3-319-53055-0_13 }}</ref>

==== "Négritude" ====
Another cornerstone of Senegalese foreign policy during the Cold War was the exemplification of African Art and international cultural ties. This was connected to President Senghor's ideology of "Negritude" which emphasized Pan-Africanism and the exceptionalism of African culture.<ref name=":0" /> In 1966, the [[First World Festival of Negro Arts]] was hosted in Dakar, Senegal.<ref name=":112">{{Cite thesis |last=Taylor |first=Lauren Elizabeth |date=2019 |title=The Art of Diplomacy in Dakar: The International Politics of Display at the 1966 Premier Festival Mondial des Arts Negroes. |url=https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1x92f92j |journal=UCLA}}</ref> The event was a tribute the art and excellence of the African Diaspora across the world. In the development of the event, Senegal strengthened relations with the UN, African states like Ethiopia, and nations on both sides of the Cold War.<ref name=":112" /> The United States was one of the key supporters of the event, sending the largest delegation of performers, artists, and technician of any of the 43 participating nations.<ref name=":1222">{{Cite journal |last=Ripert |first=Yohann C. |date=2021-01-05 |title=Decolonizing Diplomacy: Senghor, Kennedy, and the Practice of Ideological Resistance |journal=African Studies Review |volume=64 |issue=2 |pages=292–314 |doi=10.1017/asr.2020.91 |s2cid=234247930 |issn=0002-0206}}</ref> Despite an official policy of non-alignment, Senegal used African Art and Culture as a negotiation tool with international partners and build a "soft" foreign policy with a variety of nations. At the same time, the First World Festival of Negro Arts was seen by many post-colonial states as neocolonial due to its connection to French concept of Negritude and cooperation with Western powers.<ref name=":112" /> The event strained relationships with Algeria and Guinea who would host their own festival in the years following in Algiers.<ref name=":112" />

==== Iran-Senegal Relations ====
Senegal's non-alignment policy also contributed to the building of significant relationships with other nations. President Sénghor developed strong political and economic ties with the Shah of Iran, [[Mohammad Reza Pahlavi]]. In 1971, formal diplomatic relations were established, and, by 1973, the Shah was providing $2.4 million in developmental loans for Senegal (Steele 180–1).<ref name=":15" /> Iran continued to provide development investment and loans from 1974 to 1979 that focused on the trade of Iranian oil for Senegalese phosphate, including the creation of an oil refinery and a new adjacent city in Senegal (Steele 183–4).<ref name=":15" /> The project was never completed due to funding gaps and the [[Iranian Revolution]], despite strong intentions to move forward.

== Current Partnerships ==

=== U.S.-Senegal Relations ===
Diplomatic relations between the [[United States]] and Senegal began in 1960, following independence and the dissolution of the Mali Federation.<ref name=":132">{{Cite web |title=The United States and Senegal: 60 Years of Partnership |url=https://www.state.gov/the-united-states-and-senegal-60-years-of-partnership/ |access-date=2022-05-12 |website=United States Department of State |language=en}}</ref> Early after independence, a relationship was formed between President Senghor and U.S. President [[John F. Kennedy]] as part of the latter's "African Policy."<ref name=":1222"/> As part of Senegal's policy of non-alignment and African Socialism, bilateral relations between the two were limited but meaningful. The United States contributed aid to Senegal, including for the First World Festival of Negro Arts, and maintained consistent contact with the country throughout the Cold War via its [[United States Agency for International Development|US Agency for International Development]] (USAID).<ref name=":1222"/>

Today, [[Senegal–United States relations|U.S.-Senegal Relations]] are defined by foreign aid, military cooperation, and the protection of democracy in the region. The United States provides a growing amount of economic aid to the country. Senegal has received aid for democracy promotion, food security, and development projects like $1.5 million in aid for solar energy and nano-loan financing systems.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-03-31 |title=U.S. Government supports access to energy and finance through new grants operating in Africa including Senegal {{!}} Press Release {{!}} Senegal |url=https://www.usaid.gov/senegal/press-releases/mar-30-2022-us-government-supports-access-energy-and-finance-through-new |access-date=2022-05-12 |website=[[USAID]] |language=en |archive-date=May 12, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220512211805/https://www.usaid.gov/senegal/press-releases/mar-30-2022-us-government-supports-access-energy-and-finance-through-new }}</ref> Health diplomacy is another sector of aid that the United States and Senegal collaborate on.

In 2016, both nations also signed a Defense Cooperation Agreement that would ensure joint-military training and missions in West African states affected by Islamic extremism and alleviate the need for more troops to be stationed in Senegal.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2016-05-02 |title=U.S. and Senegal sign defense cooperation deal |language=en |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-senegal-security-idUSKCN0XT1Q5 |access-date=2022-05-12}}</ref> Senegal has also supported U.S. military missions in Iraq (1991), Niger (2016), and even its own territory during the Ebola outbreak of 2014, through the auspices of the [[United States Africa Command|United States African Command (AFRICOM)]].<ref name=":1222"/> Another major priority of the United States in Senegal is the promotion and protection of democracy. Senegal's democratic system has persisted for decades and has become more democratic following the Cold War, garnering the attention of the U.S. as a model state for West Africa.<ref name=":132" /> The United States manages several programs or aid packets meant to increase democratic diplomacy. One of these programs is conducted by the [[United States Information Agency]] which help hold workshops and training with Senegalese news federation and reporters to increase the independence and power of the press in the country.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Datta |first=Christopher |date=2019-11-01 |title=The Power of Ideas That Won the Cold War is Still Needed |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/2312459151 |journal=American Diplomacy |pages=1–3|id={{ProQuest|2312459151}} }}</ref>

The relationship between the United States and Senegal is often limited by the country's strong ties with France, preventing deep connections from forming without diplomatic conflict.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Elam-Thomas |first=Harriet Lee |title=Diversifying diplomacy my journey from Roxbury to Dakar |date=2017 |publisher=Potomac Books |isbn=978-1-61234-950-3 |oclc=1175634734}}</ref> The French have been critical of recent "hard" diplomacy actions by the U.S., including AFRICOM and limited the nation's [[African Crisis Response Initiative]] (ACRI) to the training of African forces in West Africa.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Bagayoko |first=Niagale |date=2009-04-03 |title=French Reactions to AFRICOM: An Historic Perspective |url= |journal=Contemporary Security Policy |volume=30 |issue=1 |pages=28–31 |doi=10.1080/13523260902759761 |s2cid=153687304 |issn=1352-3260}}</ref>

== Intergovernmental Organizations ==

=== ECOWAS ===
Senegal is a Zone A member of [[Economic Community of West African States|ECOWAS]] since its formation in 1975 with the signing of the Treaty of Lagos and the largest contributor of troops in the [[Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group|Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group (ECOMOG)]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Senegal's place in ECOWAS |url=https://www.presidence.sn/en/newsroom/senegals-place-in-ecowas_1122 |access-date=2022-03-28 |website=www.presidence.sn |archive-date=April 18, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230418114519/https://www.presidence.sn/en/newsroom/senegals-place-in-ecowas_1122 }}</ref> According to the ECOWAS official website, Senegal's affairs in ECOWAS are currently overseen by Madame [[Aïssata Tall Sall|Aissata Tall Sall]], Senegal's Foreign Minister.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Senegal {{!}} Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) |url=https://ecowas.int/member-states/senegal/ |access-date=2022-03-28 |website=ecowas.int |archive-date=February 21, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220221061111/https://ecowas.int/member-states/senegal/ }}</ref> Senegal holds 6 seats in ECOWAS's Community Parliament, which assigns seats based on member states' populations.

The [[Trans–West African Coastal Highway|Trans-West African Coastal Highway]] was an ECOWAS project which made significant infrastructure developments that connected Senegals' Capital, Dakar, to other major cities in the surrounding region, such as Lagos in [[Nigeria]] and Nouakchott in [[Mauritania]]. Additionally, ECOWAS oversaw the construction of a 1.9&nbsp;km [[Senegambia bridge|bridge]] connecting Senegal to its interior neighbor, the Gambia, and has begun plans to construct a bridge connecting Mauritania and Senegal.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-01-26 |title=Gambia and Senegal finally inaugurate connecting bridge |url=https://apnews.com/article/44fdf33eb04242cc80b64a19c191a350 |access-date=2022-03-28 |website=AP News |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":22">{{Cite web |title=Dakar and Nouakchott to be linked by Rosso bridge |url=http://apanews.net/en/news/dakar-and-nouakchott-to-be-linked-by-rosso-bridge |access-date=2022-03-28 |website=apanews.net |date=January 13, 2021 |language=en}}</ref> Not only did these projects expand Senegal's physical infrastructure and access to its neighbors, but they are projected by officials to be prosperous for economic development through trade expansion.<ref name=":22" />

On July 10, 2014, ECOWAS member states agreed to begin an [[Economic partnership agreement|economic partnership agreement (EPA)]] with the [[European Union|EU]]. The implementation of the EPA, along with the adoption of a [[common external tariff]] (CET) for ECOWAS members, impacted the Senegalese economy's ability to levy custom tariffs on EU imports, thus reducing revenue collected by the Senegalese government, but increasing remuneration in the formal Senegalese labor market.<ref>{{Cite SSRN |last1=Mboup |first1=Sokhna Diarra |last2=Baldé |first2=Racky |last3=Diallo |first3=Thierno Malick |last4=Emini |first4=Christian Arnault |date=2016-12-01 |title=The Impact of Trade Reforms on Employment and Welfare in ECOWAS Countries: The Case of Senegal |language=en |ssrn=3164364}}</ref>

==== Guinea-Bissau Civil War (1998) ====
Senegal contributed about 2,000 troops upon the request of President Joao Bernardo Vieira of Guinea-Bissau for support during the [[Guinea-Bissau Civil War]]. The contribution of Senegalese troops to the Civil War also served to benefit Senegalese national interests because Vieira's government was at risk of being replaced in a coup attempt by Ansumane Mane. Mane was believed to be sending weapons  to [[Casamance]] separatists, who are a secessionist group in the southwestern region of Senegal.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Francis |first=David J. |url=https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.4324/9781315235332/uniting-africa-david-francis |title=Uniting Africa: Building Regional Peace and Security Systems |date=2016-12-13 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-315-23533-2 |location=London |doi=10.4324/9781315235332}}</ref> In November 1998, Senegal abided by the conclusion of the ECOWAS authority to withdraw Senegalese and Guinean troops from the intervention and instead allow the other ECOWAS nations to contribute armed forces in Guinea-Bissau.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Suzuki |first=Sanae |date=2020-10-01 |title=Increasing ownership for intervention in ECOWAS |journal=African Security Review |volume=29 |issue=4 |pages=364–375 |doi=10.1080/10246029.2020.1843508 |s2cid=229366566 |issn=1024-6029}}</ref>

==== The Gambia (2017) ====
[[ECOWAS military intervention in the Gambia|ECOWAS militarily intervened in The Gambia]] in 2017 when [[Yahya Jammeh|Former Gambian President Yahya Jammeh]] refused to concede after losing the election that year, abbreviated as ECOMIG and code-named "Operation Restore Democracy". The Senegalese Foreign Minister first brought this concern to the [[United Nations Security Council|U.N. Security Council]] in an emergency meeting ([[United Nations Security Council Resolution 2337|UNSC Resolution 2337]]).

=== Mali Federation (1959–60) ===
Senegal was an active member of the [[Mali Federation]] during its existence from 1959 to 1960. Along with [[French Sudan]], Senegal advocated for the union of French-speaking West African nations, including the proposal of the union's name, and was a key contributor in its creation.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Political Parties and National Integration in Tropical Africa |orig-date=1964 |date=2019 |editor=James S.

In 1960, Senegalese and Malian interests conflicted when Senghor became a candidate for the presidency of the Federation and Keita responded by declaring a state of emergency. On August 20, Senegal left the Mali Federation. The Federation subsequently dissolved.<ref name=":422" />

=== Senegambian Confederation (1981-89) ===
The [[Senegambia Confederation|Senegambian Confederation]], comprising [[The Gambia]] and Senegal, was established in 1981 and dissolved in 1989. The Confederation was intended to promote security, political, and economic [[Senegambia|unity between the two]] countries, and in the vision of the [[Abdou Diouf|Senegalese government]], an eventual integration of the countries, to which The Gambia resisted.<ref name=":5">{{Cite journal |last=Hughes |first=Arnold |date=1992-07-01 |title=The collapse of the Senegambian confederation |journal=The Journal of Commonwealth & Comparative Politics |volume=30 |issue=2 |pages=200–222 |doi=10.1080/14662049208447632 |issn=0306-3631}}</ref> The Confederation's disestablishment was initiated by the abrupt withdrawal of [[Armed Forces of Senegal|Senegalese troops]] from the Gambia, but ultimately was a culmination of multiple factors.<ref name=":5" />

The Comité permanent Inter-États de Lutte contre La Sécheresse dans Le Sahel (CILSS) or the [[Permanent Interstate Committee for drought control in the Sahel|Permanent Interstates Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel]] is an international organization dedicated to combatting the effects of drought and [[desertification]] in the [[Sahel]] region of Africa.<ref name=":222">{{Cite web |title=CILSS - Comité permanent Inter-Etats de Lutte contre la Sécheresse dans le Sahel |url=http://portails.cilss.bf/spip.php?rubrique41 |access-date=2022-05-10 |website=portails.cilss.bf |archive-date=May 18, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220518103031/http://portails.cilss.bf/spip.php?rubrique41 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Founded in 1973 after major droughts across the Sahel, CILSS has worked to uphold the work of ECOWAS in ensuring food and energy security, to educate local engineers on more sustainable development practices, to provide information on ongoing environmental problems, and to research the effects of climate change and desertification.<ref name=":222" /> While originally consisting of 13 mostly Francophone West African nations including Senegal, the organization was integrated into ECOWAS, expanding to a total of 17 members.<ref>{{Cite web |date=October 15, 2021 |title=USAID/West Africa and Permanent Interstate Committee Drought Control Sahel (CILSS) |url=https://www.usaid.gov/west-africa-regional/documents/usaidwest-africa-and-permanent-interstate-committee-drought-control-sahel-cilss |access-date=May 10, 2022 |website=[[USAID]] |archive-date=May 12, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220512211804/https://www.usaid.gov/west-africa-regional/documents/usaidwest-africa-and-permanent-interstate-committee-drought-control-sahel-cilss }}</ref>

Senegal is one of the founding members of CILSS and one of its biggest contributors<ref name=":222" /> The nation and Senegalese President [[Macky Sall]] has been leaders in development projects like "2iS" or the "Sahel Irrigation Initiative" which would create a network of irrigation infrastructure across the Sahel belt to support water-insecure areas.<ref name=":222" />

=== African and Malagasy Common Organization (1961-1985) ===
The [[African and Malagasy Common Organization]] or the Organization Commune Africaine et Malgache (OCAM) was an international organization that encompassed much of [[French West Africa|Francophone West]] and [[Central Africa]] and [[Madagascar]] from 1961 to 1985.<ref name=":3222"/> It was originally established as the [[African and Malagasy Union|Union Africaine et Malgache]] in 1961, with the support of France, for the purpose of greater economic, political, and social integration of French-speaking West Africa.<ref name=":3222"/> At its height from 1961 to 1973, the organization included 14-15 members and changed names several times before finally settling on the African, Malagasy, and Mauritian Common Organization (OCAMM).<ref name=":3222"/><ref name=":522">{{Cite journal |last=Ekue |first=Albert |date=1968 |title=L'Organisation Commune Africaine et Malgache |journal=The Journal of Modern African Studies |volume=6 |issue=3 |pages=421–425 |doi=10.1017/S0022278X00017547 |jstor=159312 |s2cid=154661552 |issn=0022-278X}}</ref> After 1973, member states began to leave the organization because of the lack of substantive work and integration of its governing bodies, especially following the establishment of the [[Organisation of African Unity|Organization of African Unity]] (later the African Union) in 1963 which had a broader Pan-African focus and mandate.<ref name=":3222"/>

Senegal was a member of OCAM from its founding to its eventual dissolution in 1985 and was instrumental in its development. President Senghor, in particular, was a major supporter of the organization because of his policy of " la Francophonie" or the integration of French-speaking Africa.<ref name=":522" /> Senegal remains a member of several of the institutions that were initially created by the Conference of Heads of State while OCAM was still functional, including the African and Malagasy Council on Higher Education (CAMES).<ref name=":3222"/>

=== OMVG ===
Senegal is one of the two founding members of the Organization pour la Mise en Valeur de la Fleuve Gambie (OMVG), also known as the Organization for the Development of the Gambia River Basin.<ref name=":62">{{Cite web |title=Indemnisation du Plan d'Action de Réinstallation des Postes du Sénégal {{!}} Site Web du Projet Energie OMVG |url=https://www.pe-omvg.org/node/82 |access-date=2022-05-11 |website=www.pe-omvg.org |archive-date=April 28, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220428043710/https://www.pe-omvg.org/node/82 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Its other members include [[The Gambia|Gambia]], [[Guinea-Bissau]], and [[Guinea]].

Particularly in Southern Senegalese region of [[Kédougou Region|Kédougou]], the planned construction of Sambangalou Hydroelectric Development (AHES) on the border of Guinea would provide power and greater agriculture potential to the area.<ref name=":62" />

=== OMVS ===
The Organization pour la Mise en Valeur de la Fleuve Sénégal ([[OMVS]]) or the Organization for the Development of the Senegal River Basin was established in 1972 and consists of four member states: Senegal, Guinea, Mali, and Mauritania.<ref name=":82">{{Cite web |title=Organisation pour la Mise en Valeur du fleuve Sénégal (OMVS) |url=https://www.omvs.org/ |access-date=2022-05-11 |website=OMVS |language=fr-FR}}</ref> Former Senegalese President Senghor is considered one of the "founding fathers" of the organization.<ref name=":82" /> The goals of the OMVS are to promote the economic integration, development, and sustainability of the river basin which provides essential natural resources to member states.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Amar |first=M.

The OMVS has been an effective organization at developing the [[Senegal River Basin Development Authority|Senegal River Basin]], but have experienced diplomatic and environmental problems throughout its existence. The most serious of these conflicts was between Senegal and [[Mauritania]]. In the late-1980s and early-1990s, there were a series of violent clashes between Senegalese farmers and Mauritanian herders over scarce resources near the river.<ref name=":92" /> After the murder and expulsion of Senegalese farmers from Mauritania, troops from both countries were mobilized to the border and over 100 Mauritanians were killed in Dakar while the rest were expelled.<ref name=":92" /> The only remaining Mauritanians in Senegal were diplomats working for the OMVS which remained the only diplomatic relationship between Senegal and Mauritania at the time.<ref name=":92" /> This period almost saw the two countries go to war and cemented current tensions within the organization despite continuing plans for development and research.

== Future developments in foreign policy ==
Senegal is regarded on the international stage as one of the most stable democracies in Africa (Konte)<ref>{{Cite thesis |degree=PhD |title=Leadership in African Public Policy: A Comparative Study of the Effects of African Political Thought on Monetary, Trade, and Aid Policy in The Gambia and Senegal |publisher=Howard University |last=Konte|first=Suleyman Garaba|date=May 2018|id={{ProQuest|2132006730}}}}</ref> as a result of three peaceful power-transitions since 1960 (WorldBank). Senegalese policy making is primarily based on immediate neighbors, the remainder of Africa, the Arab world and other Muslim states, and western democracies (Schraeder and Gaye, 501)<ref name=":0" /> and revolves around Mauritania, Mali, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, and Gambia (Schraeder and Gaye, 502).<ref name=":0" /> A source of conflict between Senegal and surrounding nations has been the management and development of shared border resources (Schraeder and Gaye, 503).<ref name=":0" />

Senegalese foreign policy also revolves around Senegal's involvement in the internal affairs of other African nations and the desire to take and establish a lead role in a myriad of organizations committed to promoting regional integration and African unity (Schraeder and Gaye, 504).<ref name=":0" /> International commitments are a distinctive aspect of Senegalese foreign policy and includes arrangements with international organizations that operate in Senegal and members of state organizations that Senegal belongs to (Sall, 9).<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Sall |first=Alioune |date=2013 |title=The Foreign Policy of Senegal Since 2000." South African Foreign Policy and African Drivers Programme |url=https://saiia.org.za/research/the-foreign-policy-of-senegal-since-2000/ |access-date=10 October 2019 |website=South African Institute of International Affairs}}</ref> An obligatory resolution mandated by the United Nations or a decree by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) may constitute an international commitment by Senegal.

Senegalese foreign policy is now characterized by a nationalism that is fueled by the place Senegal once had within the French colony and a traditional culture. Thus, constituting a sense of regional superiority in regards to the domain of regional integration. The thirty-five years of uninterrupted democratic rule in Senegal has also been a key factor in Senegalese foreign policy. Over seventy percent of people are dependent on agriculture to provide economic stability and most of Senegal's economic earnings stem from the exportation of groundnuts (Gray, 1).<ref name=":2" /> Thus, Senegal is currently working towards a structural transformation of their economy by implementing a form of economic diplomacy to strengthen regional stability and seize foreign markets (Zacchia et al., 2).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/336611539873310474/pdf/systematic-country-diagnostic-of-senegal-post-roc-for-rvp-clearance-clean-20181004-002-10122018-636754106488285264.pdf|title=Systematic Country Diagnosis of Senegal |author=Paolo Zacchia |author2=Federica Marzo |author3=Aneliya Muller |date=2018|website=The World Bank |access-date=30 September 2019}}</ref> Senegal plays an active role within international organizations such as the [[United Nations Security Council]],  Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Nepad, and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation or the International Organisation of La Francophonie (WorldBank).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.worldbank.org/en/country/senegal/overview|title=The World Bank in Senegal|last=World Bank|date=2019|website=The World Bank Group|access-date=29 September 2019}}</ref>
