Description
Many scholars from the Southern African region and the Nordic countries contributed to a conference in Harare, Zimbabwe in Septemer 21-23, 1988, arranged at the initiative of the Southern African Research Association (SADRA) and the Scandinavian Institute of African Studies (SIAS). The conference theme was "Regional Co-operation in Southern Africa with a Post-Apartheid Perspective". The main objective was to initiate research co-operation between Nordic and Southern African researchers. The papers form the main part of these proceedings and cover a wide area of topics, from regional co-operation in the field of information and the role of non-governmental organizations, to shipping structures, industrial development, and analyses of Nordic aid to the SADCC region, as well as the regional policy of South Africa. The proceedings also include conclusions from the discussions on future research co-operation and lists of topics identified by the conference as relevant for common research.
