South Africa in Africa: The Post-Apartheid Era

Earlier this year, I was contracted by Electric Book Works to work as copy editor with Adekeye Adebajo and the Cape Town-based Centre for Conflict Resolution to produce South Africa in Africa: The Post-Apartheid Era, now published by UKZN Press.

In this rigorous and policy-relevant book, a diverse group of Pan-African scholars examine South Africa’s post-apartheid foreign policy, arguing that an effective foreign policy can only be built on a strong domestic base. The authors assess key challenges of regional leadership for South Africa, addressing traditional issues of leadership, military and economic power, and less conventional foreign policy concerns such as land conflicts and HIV/AIDS.
