The dissertation analyzes the possibilities and presents the conditions to achieve the harmonization of Economic Criminal Law in Southern Africa. In this view, the dissertation deal with criminological, criminal policy as well as dogmatic issues in order to propose such desired legislative harmonization and aiming to address the interrelationship between the various forces that support and those that hinder penal harmonization. As a main hypothesis, the dissertation considers that the criminal legislative harmonization is a necessary process in the context of regional integration, especially for those countries located in regions with close economic and political ties (as it is the case of southern African countries). It´s emphasized the relevance of undertaking reforms on the SADC´s members-states national s criminal laws in order to improve prevention and combating economic crimes, as far as the differences on the members-states internal criminal legislations is a concern in the region. Is described the characteristics of the delinquents as well as the economic crimes on the SADC region. In this view, is explained how to undertake the desired harmonization, based on two studies and the same number of models related to the harmonization of economic criminal law. It is proposed that the harmonization process has to be made in two axes, mainly: the axis of the offenses and of the penalties. On the first degree is explained the need to harmonize the actions to be legally qualified as economic crimes as well as the legal mechanism for their legal provision. In the second axis is mentioned the issues regarded to the harmonization of criminal penalties. Finally, in the conclusion is underlined and demonstrated the presence of considerable factors and requirements towards the harmonization of economic criminal law in SADC, as it is a necessary measure to protect intra-state economic and financial interests, the common regional objectives as well as to prevent and combat transnational economic crimes, which is, indeed, strongly linked to the worldwide globalization and to the knit regional integration process.
