Sweden and National Liberation in Southern Africa: Formation of a popular opinion (1950-1970)
In 1969, the Swedish parliament endorsed a policy of direct assistance to the liberation movements in Southern Africa. Sweden thus became the first Western country to enter into a relationship with organizations that elsewhere in the West were shunned as "Communist" or "terrorist." This book-the first in a two-volume study on Sweden & the regional struggles for majority rule & national independence-traces the background to the relationship. Presenting the actors & factors behind the support to MPLA of Angola, FRELIMO of Mozambique, SWAPO of Namibia, ZANU & ZAPU of Zimbabwe, & ANC of South Africa, it addresses the question why Sweden established close relations with the very movements that eventually would assume state power in their respective countries. The second volume (later this year) will discuss how the support was expressed, covering the period from 1970 until the democratic elections in South Africa in 1994.
White Lies
"Behind the clerical dog collar he wore as Canon of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, John Collins ran a single-minded, constantly creative, campaign over several decades to provide material support to those waging the struggle against apartheid - assisting leaders like Nelson Mandela and thousands of township and rural activists, as well as families who suffered because their loved ones were in prison, in exile or dead. The success of the organisations he founded, the International Defence and Aid Fund (IDAF) and Christian Action, depended on a network of volunteers across the world and a small group of South African exiles and British workers in London. South African intelligence agents tried to penetrate these networks but to no avail."--BOOK JACKET.

Managing Intercollective Conflict
How does the state system measure up to today's realitites when it comes to managing conflict? To what extent are efforts to manage conflict successful, and for whom? Prevailing structures designed to deal with conflict between collectives -- sovereign states supported by militaries, military industry, and the United Nations -- operate mainly on principles that are hundreds of years old. Conditions for conflict and its management have changed radically since this state system was constructed. There is a risk that institutional inertia produces growing disparity between real-world problems and the institutions that are supposed to manage them. Realism and legalism are found to form a double i...
Massacre in Norway
On July 22, 2011, a bomb went off outside government buildings in Oslo, Norway, killing eight people and injuring more than two hundred. Less than two hours later, a gunman claimed sixty-nine lives in a shooting spree at a summer camp on the island of Ut?ya, while terrified and desperate youths tried to hide or swim to the mainland to escape.

To inform his literary reportage, Stian Bromark compiled interviews with survivors, police officers, government employees, boatmen rescuers, and others who experienced the attacksùthe deadliest in Norway ...

Spionjakt i folkhemmet
Hösten 1973 anhölls journalisterna Peter Bratt och Jan Guillou. Under året hade de skapat rubriker med sina avslöjanden om den hemliga organisation som i media kom att kallas IB. I dess verksamhet ingick inbrott, infiltratörer och åsiktsregistrering, allt finansierat med skattemedel utan att beslut fattats i demokratisk ordning. Tillsammans med uppgiftslämnaren Håkan Isacson dömdes Bratt och Guillou till fängelse för spionage. Trots att det gått ett halvsekel sedan IB-affären briserade väcker den frågor som går rakt in i hjärtat på de nutida debatterna om demokrati, pressfrihet, neutralitetspolitik och vad vi är beredda att kompromissa med för att skydda rikets säkerhet. I Spionjakt i folkhemmet ger Anna-Lena Lodenius en unik inblick i händelserna utifrån bland annat intervjuer med flera av de inblandade som berättar om hur avslöjandet förändrade deras liv. Hon skildrar också vänstervågen, tiden och samhällsklimatet under några turbulenta år i svensk historia.
Transition
Transition celebrates its 75th issue! Founded by the young Rajat Neogy in Uganda in 1961, Transition became the forum where intellectuals of an independent Africa found their voice. Transition was intellectually provocative, visually engaging, and fearless in skewering the pieties of right and left, black and white. It defended freedom of the press and critiqued the "ethnic turn" in African politics, from Rwanda to Biafra to Uganda. In 1967, the New York Times called the journal "Africa's slickest, sprightliest, and occasionally sexiest magazine." Although Neogy was jailed for his efforts and Transition was forced to move, first to Ghana and then to England, the publication again flourished ...
