description |
The Southern African Development Community (SADC) aims to facilitate
and attain deeper economic integration and industrial development among its
members. To achieve these objectives, the grouping developed the SADC
Protocol on Trade whose implementation began in 2000. While the SADC
Protocol on Trade focuses primarily on trade integration, thus mainly a trade
instrument, this paper seeks to explore how it could be used to facilitate
industrial development instead of using it sorely for trade integration. In
analyzing this Protocol it has been observed that it has specific provisions that
address issues on industrial development within the grouping. These
provisions are Part Two Article 3, Part Four Article 21 Paragraph 1, and Part
Five Article 22. The asymmetric tariff reduction schedule governing the
implementation of this Protocol enables liberalization of product categories at
different paces taking into account the different levels of industrial
development between members. As the region progresses in implementing the
Protocol, the aforementioned Articles could be utilized to facilitate industrial
development. Theoretical debates upon which these Articles could be used to
facilitate industrial development rest on the infant industry argument, the
static and dynamic effects of economic integration. Limitations of the
theoretical frameworks will be explored and how this could impact on industrial development initiatives by the grouping. |
