South Africa In Southern Africa: Reconfiguring The Region
Autor David Simonen Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 ian 1999
South
Africa’s
release
of
Nelson
Mandela
from
prison
in
February
1990
and
the
subsequent
independence
of
nearby
Namibia
heralded
other
dramatic
political
and
economic
changes
in
southern
Africa
that
have
transformed
the
region
from
a
global
flashpoint
to
one
in
which
peaceful
cooperation
and
development
may
become
the
norm.
However, the substantial literature on changes in southern Africa has focused on individual nations, areas, or communities. Important regional dynamics that transcend national boundaries, as well as the imbalance between South Africa and the other states, have been virtually ignored.
South Africa in Southern Africaaddresses this imbalance as it examines in great depth—and from diverse disciplinary perspectives—the relationships between South Africa and its neighbors. Fourteen contributors examine such issues as the military legacy in southern Africa, conservation of natural resources, South Africa’s foreign policy, the role of sugar in economic development, and legal and illegal migration patterns, including labor markets and female migration. A substantial, sobering chapter deals with HIV/AIDS and the implications of its spread. This book is vital for understanding regional dynamics and the quest for stability in southern Africa.
