Description

With the ending of white-minority rule in South Africa, the democratic elections in Mozambique, and renewed efforts to negotiate settlement of the civil war in Angola, the Southern African states are confronted with the task of creating a sound multilateral framework for conducting mutual relations while accommodating the dominant power - the new democratic South Africa - in order to sustain peace and security. Examining the potential for regional co-operation and the process of regional institution-building, the contributors to this book emphasize the need for indigenous capability for managing and resolving conflict. They explore norms, principles and concrete measures for building confidence and security.
