Think Piece No. 13: The security-development nexus - A view from Southern Africa
Summary
- This analytical paper draws on an earlier offering and engages with two key policy framings of the 15-member Southern African Development Community (SADC).
- These are: the Revised (Harmonized) Strategic Indicative Plan for the Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation (SIPO II), and the recently reviewed Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan (RISDP).
- Together these two policy framings provide the regional body’s most elaborate and systematic articulation on the Security/Development nexus.
- The paper provides a critique of both frameworks against the background of the linear model of regional integration that privileges market and trade integration over project and development integration.
