Regional development in the Southern African development area

An assessment of theories, prominent features and the policy frameworkFootnote∗
For the purpose of this paper, the Southern African development area includes South Africa and the independent and self‐governing national states.
The views and interpretations expressed in this paper are those of the author and should not be attributed to the Development Bank of Southern Africa.
This article is based on a paper, ‘Regional development in the Southern African Development Area: Theories, prominent features and strategy options’, delivered at the thirteenth biennial Conference of the Economic Society of South Africa, Durban, 19September 1985. Because the article by Thomas in this edition of Development Southern Africa deals with alternative strategy options for regional development, this article does not cover that ground.
