Abstract
Something new is emerging from the conflict-ridden region of Southern Africa. Diverse and often turbulent processes, operating at different levels, and involving a variety of state, market and society actors, both within and outside the area, and characterised by overlapping and competing interests and identities, shape the regional subsystem. These include post-apartheid and post-cold war restructuring, the overlapping processes of different globalizations and regionalizations, structural adjustment and neoliberalist projects, together with the quest for (nation-)state-building even as the state itself is being ‘unbundled’. Moreover, in line with most parts of the world, Southern Africa is experiencing a (re)emergence of various types of cross-border regions (CBRs).
The authors wish to thank the editors, Mandy Driver, Ian Taylor and an anonymous reviewer for constructive comments on an earlier draft. Fredrik Söderbaurn gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
