Water in Southern Africa
When it comes to water, we are fed a daily diet of doom and gloom, of a looming crisis: wars of the future will be over water; nearly one-billion people lack access to clean water; river basins are closed so there is no more water to be allocated despite ever-growing demand; aquifers are overdrawn to such an extent that a global food crisis is just around the corner and major cities, such as Bangkok and Mexico, are sinking. And let us not forget about pollution or vector-borne diseases. The challenges for sustainable water management are massive. Yet, as shown in this book, there are many positives to be drawn from the southern African experience. Despite abiding conditions of economic under...
The South at the End of the Twentieth Century
This collection is concerned with revisiting and redefining the political economy - both empirical and theoretical - of 'foreign policy' in the South as we approach the twenty-first century: the position of post-colonial states and societies in the post-Bretton Woods and Cold War world. With a focus on Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Latin America, this collection comparatively examines the impact of changing political and economic structures upon policy-makers and civil societies in the South.

Prospects for Peace and Development in Southern Africa in the 1990s
As we move into the final decade of the twentieth century, the struggle for peace and development in Southern Africa continues. Recent events - national, regional, and global - suggest that the long battle against apartheid may soon be over. In South Africa, Mandela has been released, the ANC unbanned, and the Pretoria Minute provides the point of departure for talks about talks. Nambia is now independent. Embattled regimes in Angola and Mozambique have begun negotiating with formerly unrecognized guerrilla movements toward peace and reintegration. It would seem then that prospects for peace, development, and the lifting of racial oppression have never looked better in the sub-continent. Upo...
Bridging The Rift
Despite the lingering effects of more than a decade of sanctions and economic stagnation, South Africa retains the most powerful, industrialized, and diversified economy in sub-Saharan Africa. Today, as a postapartheid future is constructed and as the old political and economic barriers with the rest of the continent crumble, it is probable that th

Theory, Change and Southern Africa
As dramatic changes unfold throughout the world, and the new millennium begins, many in South Africa have begun to ask 'what next'? The scale and pace of change have led to a feeling of powerlessness. How to cope with 'globalization', 'regionalization', a depleting ozone layer, new diseases, rampant militarization, let alone unseen structures of influence and oppression like race, class and gender? While there is no shortage of theoretical models on offer many feel that they are inadequate for the case of Southern Africa. In this book, scholars of both international relations and Southern Africa present a wide variety of thoughts on the future of the reign and the place of theory in helping us to understand the bewildering array of events characterizing the late-modern, early twenty-first century world. This book marks a 'call to theory': if Southern Africans are to overcome the divisive legacy of the past, and to move toward a more prosperous and sustainable collective future, theory must be placed at the centre of everyday life. For it is our understanding of the world that shapes both it and us.
