Abstract:The Southern African subregion has had a long history of conflict as well as efforts to create some sort of inter-State institutional arrangements designed to mitigate conflicts and enhance collaboration on a wide range of sociopolitical and economic dimensions. Although this road has been long and hard, indications thus far show a concerted effort to create a viable collaborative security arrangement. This paper analyses the Southern African subregion using the security community paradigm, based on E. Adler and M. Barnett's (1998) formulation. In applying the theoretical framework to the subregion, the paper examines SADC summits, protocols, the Strategic Indicative Plan for the Organ, and the proposed Mutual Defence Pact as fundamental indicators of the direction in which the subregion is moving. Notes, ref., sum. [ASC Leiden abstract]
