Abstract
In view of the rapid normalization of South Africa's relations with the rest of Africa, the appropriate framework for economic interaction with its neighbours requires careful thought. The article examines the more obvious possibilities and concludes that none of them, in their present form, can adequately meet future needs. Experience gained through them, however, should help to facilitate the pragmatic, step‐by‐step approach called for by the region's realities. Some aspects of such an approach are discussed.
