About the Book

Integration in the Southern African Development Community Region: Peoples' Agency, Popular Participation, and Democratization, 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). Using political and public administration perspectives, 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.

Review :
"This book has tackled the deeply challenging question, why citizen-centerd integration is key to democratization of regional institutions. The editors and contributors build on this cognition to initiate a fundamental debate premised on the understanding that 'people's agency' is and will remain central to SADC's integration. This book is widely enriched in well-ordered ontologies, addresses the punctum caecum of most African institutions in fulfilling their development emancipation, and as such, this book is ideal for historians, political anthropologists, political scientists, and public administration scholars." --Francis Onditi, Riara University, Kenya "What is democracy without peoples' agency, participation, and sense of belonging? The answer is in this timely, rigorous comparative study of South African Development Community. This volume will influence studies on SADC for decades to come." --Mueni wa Muiu, Winston Salem State University "Sustained regional integration is core to the realization of the African Union's Agenda 2063. In exploring the possible realization of sadcness and sadcnization in Southern Africa through regional integration, this book employs the doctrine of popular sovereignty to underscore the role of the people as primary agents and beneficiaries of integration. This book uniquely contributes to the ongoing debate on regional integration making it a timely text for students of international studies and related courses, and a reference tool for policymakers, governments, and diplomats." --Mercy Kaburu, United States International University-Africa "The authors of this book are examining a rather complicated and often overlooked role that the people play in the formation of regional identity in regional integration studies. While maintaining their focus on the SADC region and introducing new concepts, specifically Sadcness and Sadcnization, this book offers new theoretical approaches in the study of regional integration. As such, it can be used as a guide and reference for policy makers as well as researchers in the study of African regional integration. Therefore, it should be in all government institutions, NGO's as well as libraries." --Claire Ayuma Amuhaya, The Peoples' Friendship University of Russia
