Since its establishment in 1980 the Southern African Development
Community (SADC) has largely been a state driven organization, with
the people of Southern Africa, though enshrined in the treaty,
remaining observers in the SADC democratization and integration
agenda. The Southern African Development Community Treaty-Nexus:
National Constitutions, Citizen’s Sovereignty, Communication, and
Awareness, edited by Korwa Gombe Adar, Dorothy Mpabanga, Kebapetse
Lotshwao, Thekiso Molokwane, and Norbert Musekiwa, brings in the
people of Southern Africa, the key beneficiaries of the integration
agenda, in the SADC democratization and integration epistemology.
Using the new concepts of sadcness and sadcnization, this book
operationalizes from legal, communication, and awareness
perspectives, the nexus of the people of Southern Africa,
democratization, and integration in the SADC region. From legal and
communications lenses, the contributors argue that democratization
and integration are about people (citizens), the sovereigns, and
not merely the abstract actors called nation states. Using the case
studies of Angola, Botswana, Madagascar, Mozambique, South Africa,
and Zimbabwe, the contributors engage in this epistemology and
assess, among other things, the peoples' of Southern Africa—the
Southern Africa Development Community integration nexus.
Peoples' Agency, Popular Participation, Democratization, and
Integration in Southern African Development Community Region,
edited by Korwa Gombe Adar, Dorothy Mpabanga, Kebapetse Lotshwao,
Thekiso Molokwane, and Norbert Musekiwa, engages in the debate
associated with "the people of Southern Africa" (people of the
Region)-democratization and integration nexus envisaged in the 1980
treaty which established the Southern African Development Community
(SADC). The editors argue that for democratization and integration
to be tangibly consolidated and institutionalized, direct
involvement of the people of Southern Africa, the peoples' agency,
is paramount and would lead to what is dubbed in this book as
sadcness and sadcnization. More specifically, democratization and
integration are about people (citizens), the sovereigns, and not
merely the abstract actors called nation states. Using the case
studies of Angola, Botswana, Madagascar, Mozambique, South Africa,
and Zimbabwe, the contributors have, from political and public
administration dimensions, engaged in this epistemology assessing,
among other things, the peoples' of Southern Africa-the Southern
Africa Development Community integration nexus.
