Summary

This uneven collection of essays on the international aspects of the conflict in Southern Africa brings together seven contributions by authors with quite different political perspectives. In addition to articles on Zimbabwe, SADCC and South Africa's regional policy, there are two essays dealing specifically with Namibia. "From South West Africa to Namibia" (p.61-91) is written by the editor, an assistant professor at the Naval Graduate School. The main concern of the author is to urge the US Administration to promote an international settlement by putting pressure on South Africa, arguing that a prolongation of the conflict "will shift the balance of power within SWAPO in favor of the factions most hostile to the United States and less willing to compromise". In "One Namibia, one nation: the political economy of transition" (p. 92-122), R.H. Green focuses on the colonial economy and the transitional period from a position close to SWAPO. (Eriksen/Moorsom 1989).
