Abstract :This paper examines the process of structural change and export diversification that took place in five selected Southern African economies since the early 1970s. Making use of several complementary data sources, the paper highlights the important differences that characterized the experiences of different countries and discusses the main challenges and opportunities that these countries, and the region as a whole, will face in the years to come.
