Restructing South Africa

Edición de la obra Restructuring South Africa

The volume assesses whether or not South Africa can be brought to peace, social order and stability following the violence, chaos and disorder of the transition from apartheid. The book is in two parts. Some chapters examine important aspects which define the current period of chaos (crime, violence, the Natal conflict), 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 (the role of external mediation, constitutional reform, educational desegregation, and the police) in order to assess the likelihood of this end being achieved. The authors represent a range of European and North American writers with extensive experience of working on South Africa, as well as some of the leading writers working inside South Africa.
