ABSTRACT
The determination of the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement in March 2018 has resulted in renewed interest in the role of ‘super-blocs’ in regional development (Albert, 2019). The former regionalisation process will result in the world's largest trading bloc (55 countries). The proposed research aims to analyse regional development policy (or the lack thereof) in the Southern African Development Community (SADC), which also forms a key trading bloc on the African continent and the Global South.
