The Politics of Economic Power in Southern Africa
This book questions the notion that South Africa can exert effective political leverage over its economically dependent neighbors while itself remaining free of regional influences. Originally published in 1987. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Old Naledi: The Village Becomes a Town
The Old Naledi Squatter Upgrading Project in Botswana improved the living condition of 10,000 people in accordance with recognition of residents' inherent dignity and desire for self-reliance. Faced with conditions of rapid industrialization and urbanization, and a consequent shortage of low-income housing, the Government of Botswana realized the potential for existing squatter settlements to serve as sound urban communities. The rights of existing residents were validated by facilitating access to legal land tenure and basic physical and social services. In the process, a balance was struck between traditional and contemporary forms of settlement, resulting in reduced costs, increased affordability, and the creation of an effective framework for the self-achievement of kagisano--"constructed peace" or "social harmony." Old Naledi: The Village Becomes a Town is a facinating and well-illustrated account of a bold experiment in Southern urban planning and development.
The Gender Based Violence Indicators Study
Over two thirds of women in Botswana (67%) have experienced some form of gender violence in their lifetime including partner and non-partner violence. A smaller, but still high, proportion of men admit to perpetrating violence against women. Inspired by the Commonwealth Plan of Action on Gender and Development (2005-2015) and Southern African Development Community (SADC) Protocol on Gender and Development target of halving GBV by 2015, this research project provides the first comprehensive and comparative baseline assessment of the extent, effects and response to GBV in Botswana. A representative sample of 639 women and 590 men across Botswana completed questionnaires in their preferred local language on behaviour and experiences related to GBV. Researchers asked women about their experience of violence perpetrated by men while men were asked about their perpetration of violence against women.
