The Hard Road to Reform
Analyzes political, economic, and social developments since the defeat of ZANU-PF in the 2008 parliamentary election, the formation of the GNU, and the end of one-party rule in Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe
The author is from the Institute of Development Studies at the University of Zimbabwe. He examines the paradox ensuing from the Lancaster House Settlement at Zimbabwe's independence, that whilst colonial rule was ended, the framework was provided for continued white privilege, on the basis of control of the economy by this elite - and through them, transnational capital. He analyses the responses of the ruling (including official) elite, the black petty bourgeoisie, and the group associated with the former Rhodesian Front.
Prospects for Transitional Justice in Zimbabwe. - Brian Raftopoulos
Brian Raftopoulos On the 27th-28th October the SADC Troika met in Harare to find a way beyond the impasse in the Political Agreement signed by Zanu PF and the two MDCs on the 15th September 2008.

[...] However It is unlikely that the AU will take a position substantively different from the SADC decision; it is even less clear how the UN is going to be able to undercut the position of the Southern African leaders without the 'Africa vs the West' position on Zimbabwe once more setting the framework on the Zim...
Building from the Rubble
Building from the Rubble is the latest volume to trace the history of Zimbabwe’s labour movement, following Keep on Knocking (1997) and Striking Back (2001). Even though it focuses on the period between 2000-2017, the analysis reviews the changes in trade unionism throughout the post-colonial era. For much of this period, the unions faced massive challenges, including state violence and repression, funding limitations, splits, factionalism, and problems of organising at factory level. Perhaps the greatest challenge was the massive structural change in the economy. Deindustrialisation and the informalisation of work decimated the potential membership of the unions and redefined the trajecto...
Developing a Transformation Agenda for Zimbabwe
Sets out the political and economic constraints, followed by a discussion of the prospects of transitional justice processes. Puts forth suggestions for a successful economic stabilization and key issues for security sector reform, notable how to limit the strong military involvement in politics.
Becoming Zimbabwe. A History from the Pre-colonial Period to 2008
Becoming Zimbabwe is the first comprehensive history of Zimbabwe, spanning the years from 850 to 2008. In 1997, the then Secretary General of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions, Morgan Tsvangirai, expressed the need for a 'more open and critical process of writing history in Zimbabwe. ...The history of a nation-in-the-making should not be reduced to a selective heroic tradition, but should be a tolerant and continuing process of questioning and re-examination.' Becoming Zimbabwe tracks the idea of national belonging and citizenship and explores the nature of state rule, the changing contours of the political economy, and the regional and international dimensions of the country's history. ...
