Abstract
This paper analyzes the creation and evolution of Southern African regionalism (s) including the FLS and SADCC up to the end of apartheid. The primary and root causes of current SADC regionalism, which were embedded in the course of development of the past regional projects, will be elaborated from the earlier period of European colonialism to the ending of the apartheid era. In this paper, focusing on evolutionary regionalism in Southern Africa in times of historical relations of enmity among and within nation-states, it attempts to provide the fundamental mechanisms of the regional organization. This will, as a result, facilitate an understanding of the nature of contemporary SADC regionalism of post-apartheid Southern Africa.
