The regional restructuring of politics in contemporary South Africa
A recent literature concerned with the regional restructuring of politics in South Africa is reviewed. The literature provides important insights into both emerging political processes and geographical forms in South Africa, but it remains constrained by three areas of weakness: those of economism, functionalism and spatial fetishism. Suggestions are made as to how these weaknesses might be avoided in future research

Disinvestment & black workers attitudes in South Africa: A critical comment
Michael Sutcliffe and Paul Wellings criticise Lawrence Schlemmer's widely‐cited survey which purports to show that a majority of black male production workers in South Africa are against ‘disinvestment’ and, by implication, would prefer US business to pursue a strategy of ‘constructive engagement’. Their critique was cited by the United Democratic Front on 12 June 1985 and debates at a widely‐publicised seminar in Durban on 25 June. Their paper g…
Worker Militancy in South Africa: A Sociospatial Analysis of Trade Union Activism in the Manufacturing Sector
The independent trade union movement has become increasingly significant in the popular struggle against racial capitalism in South Africa, yet it has so far attracted comparatively little attention from geographers in the region. One of the concerns of this paper, then, is to consider ways in which the spatial configuration of South African industry affects workers' organisations. In this context, the focus centres upon strike activity in the ma…

In accordance with national priorities, research and teaching at the University of Lesotho focuses heavily upon the analysis of Southern African under‐development.

The Southern African Pleasure Periphery, 1966-83
Both Lesotho and Swaziland possess a well-developed rhetoric advocating disengagement from South Africa, exemplified most recently in their joint commitment to the Southern African Development Co-ordination Conference. Nevertheless, both countries remain firmly fastened to their dominant neighbour and committed to development strategies which tend to perpetuate such ties. The implications of continued social and economic domination by South Afric…
