- Summary:
- Once torn by ideological conflicts and the dominance of command economies, Southern Africa is now moving towards economic liberalization and openness. In general, the ascendancy of "market economies" is acknowledged by its governments, albeit with different degrees of enthusiasm. Theoretically rich and empirically engaging, this timely book offers a critical insight into the ensuing debate on regionalism and the process of regionalization in region.
