Economic Dependence and Regional Cooperation in Southern Africa: Sadcc and South Africa in Confrontation (Studies in African Economic and Social Dev)

A comprehensive analysis of SADCC as a new regional institution of inter-state economic co-operation, this text begins with the Pan-African Movement for East and Central Africa established in 1958 and emphasizes the role of South Africa and external powers in the economies of Southern African states. The author also seeks to show how the dependence of SADCC states can be explained within the context of centre-periphery.
