Approaches to regionalism in the South‐west Indian Ocean have been strongly influenced by the economic and political circumstances of the polities of the region. The position of Mauritius, the Seychelles (both independent Commonwealth states) and Reunion (a French overseas department) is briefly reviewed to establish the pespectives from which they approach regionalism. In large part this is to do with furthering their own economic interests in a situation where some of the arrangements which have prevailed in the past are changing. In terms of the immediate region and adjoining parts of Africa Mauritius is giving priority to the Southern African Development Community (SADC) but is also a leading member of the Indian Ocean Commission (IOC). Both the Seychelles and Reunion (through France) are active in the IOC. On a broader scale Mauritius has also been instrumental in furthering the Indian Ocean Rim initiative, whereas the Seychelles and Reunion have remained peripheral to this process
