| Abstract: | The papers in this special issue on the political economy of sugar in Southern Africa were originally presented at a workshop of the Southern Africa Sugar Research Network in Johannesburg, 24-25 November 2014. Despite the overarching pattern of expansion of sugar production across southern Africa, the papers document a variety of outcomes, in which the logic of capital and investment is influenced both by state politics and national contexts, and by local livelihoods, circumstance and contingency. These three factors combine to result in a highly varied set of outcomes across the case studies. There is no one political economy of sugar in southern Africa, but many depending on the interactions of these processes.
