In the context of globalisation and New Regionalism, regional organi-
sations no longer confine themselves to intraregional cooperation, but
have, to some extent, also become actors in international relations.
This book contributes a case study to the young field of interregional-
ism studies by focusing on the external relations of one of the most
successful integration projects on the African continent, the Southern
African Development Community (SADC).
The study traces the evolution of SADC and gives a detailed account
of SADC's relations with other states and regional organisations. This
is followed by a more detailed analysis of SADC as actor in the fields
of economy, security and diplomacy. Though still constrained by a cer-
tain lack of capacity the organisation has the potential to play a more
prominent international role in the future.
