Politics in southern Africa : state and society in transition
"Making a case for the regional distinctiveness of southern Africa, this new text systematically examines politics and society in the region." "The authors first introduce the themes and concepts that guide their analysis. Then, in each of eight country studies, they trace the country's political history (beginning with the precolonial period) and analyze state structures, political and social actors, fundamentals of the political economy, and the major challenges faced by state and society. The final section of the book investigates issues that transcend borders: gender and politics, the HIV/AIDS crisis, and southern Africa's role on the continent and in the world."--Jacket
