Abstract
Swaziland’s industrialisation process cannot be analysed without establishing the South African semi-periphery as a context in relation to which Swaziland derives its peripheral status as well as the pace and quality of its industrialisation. After establishing the mechanisms directing South African secondary industrialisation in this chapter, I will consider the Swaziland political economy in Chapter 3. However, the relationship between core and periphery will be explored with regard to the BLS countries’ relationship with South Africa via the Southern African Customs Union (SACU).
