The New Southern African Customs Union Agreement

From its origins in 1910 the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) has been characterised by striking asymmetries in policies, levels of development and administrative capacity. Following the demise of apartheid in 1994, the five member countries (Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa and Swaziland) began negotiations to reform the SACU. Eight years later, a new Agreement was signed in October 2002. In this paper, we outline the main characteristics of the 2002 Agreement and assess whether it addresses the criticisms of the preceding arrangement. Most importantly, the 2002 Agreement introduces shared decision-making and provides for a sustainable revenue-sharing arrangement. But varying levels of trade policy capacity along with policy divergences between the members present new challenges. Moreover, the exclusion of Services, Intellectual Property Rights and Singapore issues gives the 2002 Agreement a somewhat jaded appearance. Nevertheless, the reconstituted SACU could form the core of a larger regional customs union that would facilitate a realignment of the existing regional organisations. This will depend on the ongoing trade negotiations with both the EU and the United States. These negotiations will also put pressure on SACU to address excluded issues and reduce cross-border transaction costs in order to realise the benefits from economic cooperation.     

Entrepreneurs in the Southern Upcountry: The Case of Spartanburg, South Carolina, 1815-1880

Most business histories of the nineteenth-century southern upcountryfocus on the shift from a protocapitalist, yeoman-oriented antebellumperiod to the rapid commercialization and industrializationof the New South era. These studies generally argue for a sharpbreak in the economic leadership of the region either throughthe rise of a new business elite, or the reorientation of anagrarian regime. Through a study of Spartanburg, South Carolina,my work challenges this notion of a sharp break and insteadfinds a vibrant, town-based entrepreneurial elite in both theantebellum and postbellum periods. The revolution that occurredwas in the nature of South Carolina's political economy. Spartanburg'sentrepreneurs, who struggled to achieve their goals in the antebellumera, found new opportunities as a result of post-war politicalrealignments and the racial politics of Reconstruction. Thisbusiness history at the community level adds an important chapterto our understanding of the political economy of the Old andNew Souths.
