Regional integration and cooperation of Southern African states was
initiated and is furthered with the goal to promote and establish
peace, security and stability in the region. Securing scarce water
and energy resources are amongst the biggest challenges facing
regional and countries' national security today. Socio-economic
dynamics as well as climate change impact the future demand and
availability of natural resources in the region. Discrepancies
between resource supply and demand are potential security threats.
To reach its security objectives, the Southern African Development
Community (SADe practises and facilitates multilateral resource
diplomacy. Trans-boundary water management, regional energy
resource cooperation and the establishment of mechanisms as part of
its overall security architecture are important means to achieve
its goal. After having outlined the necessity for multilateral
approaches in the area of ensuring security of water and energy
supply, tools of resource diplomacy in the region are discussed.
The book concludes with an assessment of the practiced diplomacy
from a security perspective.
