Regionalism in Southern Africa

.

Chapter 7 in North-South Regional Trade Agreements as Legal Regimes, 2017, pp 200-230 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Chapter 7 explores the dynamism of regionalism in Southern Africa, through the shifts from the colonial to post-colonial and Apartheid to democratisation. With a focus on the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC), it will be shown that these regional arrangements have been historically constituted as a part of the region’s development strategy. However, the dominant position of South Africa has enabled it to integrate SACU through hegemonic legal ideology which has had a long-lasting impact on the region. The Southern African region will now be exposed to another hegemonic force through the EPA as it formalises its trade relationship with normative power Europe.
