Abstract
A recent literature concerned with the regional restructuring of politics in South Africa is reviewed. The literature provides important insights into both emerging political processes and geographical forms in South Africa, but it remains constrained by three areas of weakness: those of economism, functionalism and spatial fetishism. Suggestions are made as to how these weaknesses might be avoided in future research.Keywords
