Book Description

ISBN-10: 1588262243 | ISBN-13: 978-1588262240 | Publication Date: January 2004

In the face of increasing globalisation, regionalism continues to be seen as a conduit for enhancing Africa's integration into the world economy. In the light of this, the countries of southern Africa have made verbal commitments to enhance regional development and the integration of their economies. This important book examines the challenges to regionalism in southern Africa. It tackles the issues of political and economic instability, overlapping membership in regional economic organisations, increased intra-regional trade through the creation of free trade agreements, the ability to secure needed foreign investment, and the failure of governments to make a political commitment to regionalism.
