But over the last few years t...

Since South Africa's return to the international fold in the early 1990s South African business has made great strides into Africa. This mushrooming of South African business presence throughout Africa has brought to an end the old patterns of disinvestments that were imposed as a result of sanctions under apartheid.

South Africa is beginning to develop programmes to address skills development for enterprise development. However, the knowledge base on which these are based is very weak given the lack of detailed academic research on this field in South Africa to date. Moreover, there is a tendency for sectoral specialists in parts of this area to develop interventions in ignorance of trends and experience...

In spite of its rare entry into both official and public discourses about contemporary Zimbabwe, ethnicity, alongside race, has continued to shape and influence the economic, social, and political life of Zimbabwe since the achievement of independence in 1980.

This chapter expands on the possibilities of recent developments and events. India's footprint in Africa appears to be widening and Indo-African relations gaining in momentum. Africa appears to have become a critical feature in India's current foreign outreach and thus New Delhi's acknowledgement of its need to put its engagement with the continent on more of a strategic footing.

did not insulate the party from accusations of ethnic bias - a perception the leadership largely left unattended. But, entry into the arena of competitive politics has imposed a slight modification on the part of the party towards pandering to ethnic sentiment...

It is argued in this paper that one of the important foundations on which NEPAD will have to be developed is the establishing of comprehensive information for all countries on the continent. Furthermore, the information as far as possible will have to be collected at a sub-national or localized level and not at a national or sub-regional level as is suggested in the NEPAD document, to ensure th...

African governments have made commitments to manage HIV/AIDS effectively. They have made these commitments in the African continent and abroad, at times even pledging to achieve specific measurable targets. This makes it possible to verify achievements of targets.

It was a widely dominant perception until the early 1990's that African rulers do not vacate their office alive. But even in the brutal reality of African politics, transition takes place and different former presidents have dealt with how to maintain power and privilege very differently. With new case studies examining the post-presidential years of the iconic Mandela in South Africa, Daniel a...

Since its transition to democracy in 1994, South Africa has become increasingly drawn into the resolution of conflicts and the promotion of peace and stability on the wider African continent. This has followed from the high reputation of its own negotiated settlement as a model for other conflict torn countries to emulate, the iconic status of Nelson Mandela as a master of reconciliation and fo...

|
This paper argues that the concept of democracy is fragmentary in two respects: definitions of democracy are partial and incomplete, and their meanings depend on their historical contexts. The period since the Second World War in Africa has been dominated by three related themes: political nationalism, communal competition, and economic development. The state is central to all of them. Each d...
