Anti-apartheid with a Welsh flavour’
This article enhances our understanding of how national considerations shaped and bounded forms of transnational activism. The existing anti-apartheid scholarship acknowledges that activist responses reflected the political, economic, social, and cultural environments in which they operated. However, a dominant British metanarrative exists that marginalises the experiences and developments of anti-apartheid activism across Britain’s constituent f…
International Solidarity at the Grassroots
The global campaign against apartheid South Africa has been viewed as one of the most successful examples of international solidarity activism in the 20th century. Scholars examining how anti-apartheid emerged and developed as a salient global issue have primarily focused on transnational and national considerations, particularly the role and influence of southern African exiles and expatriates, as well as the way that anti-apartheid intersected …
Mandela’s out so apartheid has finished’
Based on original archival research and oral history interviews, this article examines how the British Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM) adapted to the evolving circumstances during South Africa’s transition from apartheid to democracy between 1990 and 1994. It argues that the successful framing and impact of the Free Nelson Mandela Campaign (FNMC) of the 1980s, inadvertently created a series of challenges for the AAM in the years after Mandela’s rel…
Campaigning Against Apartheid
The international struggle against apartheid that emerged during the second half of the twentieth century made the system of legalised racial oppression in South Africa one of the world’s great moral causes. Looking back at the anti-apartheid struggle, a defining characteristic was the scope of the worldwide efforts to condemn, co-ordinate, and isolate the country. In March 1961, the international campaign against apartheid achieved its first maj…
The Collapse of Apartheid and the Dawn of Democracy in South Africa, 1993
The common public perception of South Africa’s transition from apartheid to democracy (1990–1994) is that of a ‘miracle’, which saw bitter political adversaries put aside their differences to estab

How Economic Integration Affects Party Issue Emphases
The economic dimension has typically been considered the primary dimension of political party competition. However, parties often rally voters on the basis of non-economic issues. In this article, we argue that integration into global markets and into the European Union (EU) constrains parties’ abilities to credibly differentiate themselves on economic issues. Given these constraints, and voters’ awareness of them, parties activate other non-econ…
Who Killed Hammarskjold? The UN, the Cold War and white supremacy in Africa
This engaging book marks a concerted effort to explore the historical mysteries that shroud the UN Secretary-General's death in a plane crash near the then Northern Rhodesian town of Ndola in September 1961. Fifty years after Dag Hammarskjöld's fateful visit to Central Africa, many questions remain unanswered as to the cause of his death. Susan Williams sets out to examine these questions, and the unfolding story which she skilfully depicts is on…

Foreign Policy in Transition
At the beginning of the transition from apartheid to democracy, the African National Congress (ANC) was unprepared for foreign policy discussion, a lack of readiness magnified by the collapse of international Communism and the Cold War ideology. President De Klerk and the National Party controlled foreign policy in the early years of the transition and began the process of reintegration with the international community, The ANC initially struggle…

Covert Collusion? American and South African Relations in the Angolan Civil War, 1974–1976
The traditional focus regarding the Angolan Civil War, 1974–1976, has been on the nature of Soviet and Cuban involvement, the American response to communist activities, and South Africa's invasion. A point often mentioned, but rarely elaborated upon in the literature, is the degree to which the United States of America (USA) encouraged South Africa to intervene in the Angolan conflict. This paper investigates the extent and nature of American col…
Coming in from the cold
South Africa's ‘miraculous’ transition from apartheid to democracy, 1990–1994, has been widely investigated in the current literature, but the activities of the Transitional Executive Council, and, more importantly, those of its composite sub-councils have been neglected. This study analyses the significant influence the Sub Council on Foreign Affairs (SCFA) had on the shape of South Africa's foreign policy after April 1994. The influence the Dep…
Finding Foreign Policy
The turbulent modern history of South Africa, which includes notable events such as the Sharpeville Massacre in 1960, the banning and exile of the African National Congress (ANC) and the Pan-Africanist Congress (PAC), and the dramatic transition from apartheid to democracy in the early 1990s, has drawn academics from a number of fields to studying the nation from a variety of angles. Two such topics which have attracted scholarly attention are th…

Policy and Programmatic Importance of Spatial Alignment of Data Sources
Geographic information systems have proven instrumental in assessing environmental impacts on individual and community health, but numerous methodological challenges are associated with analyses of highly localized phenomena in which spatially misaligned data are used. In a case study based on child care facility and traffic data for the Los Angeles metropolitan area, we assessed the extent of facility misclassification with spatially unreconcile…
