Security through integration

Mehr zum Buch

This text critically evaluates the progress of security structures of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) in the particular case of SADC’s intervention in Lesotho 1998. This evaluating process, from a critical security studies perspective, acknowledges the Regional Security Complex Theory (RSCT) and reviews if SADC acted like a Security Community, after Karl Deutsch. It also offers a brief historical approach to regional integration as well as to SADC.
