Abstract
Summary Bertil Oden, ‘Southern Africa and the Global Arena’, Forum for Development Studies, No. 1–2, 1994, pp. 191–219. The article investigates how some major trends and recent changes at the global level may affect the scope for regionalisation in Southern Africa in the post-cold war, post-apartheid era. It is suggested that negative trends such as the reduced political and economic interest in the North for the region, the unpromising trends in the field of minerals, and the eroded relative advantages for the ACP countries on the EU market also contain a potential for increased regional co-operation with less outside involvement. Not necessarily as a first choice, but as an alternative to further fragmentation and decline. The increased international interest for South Africa may also benefit the whole region. Global level factors which mainly will reduce the room for regionalisation are various aspects of the transnationalisation process and high dependency on development aid.
