1st Edition
Imagined Regional Communities Integration and Sovereignty in the Global South
Imagined Regional Communities provides an original approach to thinking about the processes of regional integration. Focusing mostly on communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America, it develops detailed case studies based on archives, interviews and critical readings of existing texts. These case-studies are related to each other and the overall themes of the book, so that a set of narratives and theoretical elaborations emerge, that critically reformulate understandings of regional communities, statehold and sovereignty.
Part Two: The SADC: Sovereign Simulations
Part Three: Pushing the Boundaries/Sovereignty Deferred
