Abstract
First paragraph: Interregional South-South relationships have increased in recent years. The rise of interregional trade between South Africa and Africa is an often overlooked example. On the basis of bilateral relations established initially with South Africa, MERCOSUR and SACU reached an agreement on the creation of a PTA in 2008.
