Restructuring South Africa

by John D. Brewer (Editor)

Overview

The volume assesses whether or not South Africa can achieve peace and stability following the violence, chaos and disorder that has accompanied the transition from apartheid. Some chapters examine important aspects which define the current period of chaos in order to evaluate the prospects of the disorder coming to an end. Others address key areas of reform by which peace and stability could be restored in order to assess the likelihood of this being acheived.

Editorial Reviews

Revised versions of papers presented at a workshop at the annual conference of the African Studies Association of the United Kingdom, held at the U. of Stirling in 1992. They do not discuss what the state in the new South Africa should do, but what it is possible for it to do in some key areas, such as the constitution, crime, policing, educational desegregation, and the containment of violence.
