Counter-Insurgency in Rhodesia (RLE
When originally published in 1985 this volume was the first scholarly and objective contribution available on Rhodesian counter-insurgency. It documents and explains why Rhodesia lost the war. The origins of the conflict are reviewed; each chapter examines a separate institution or counter-insurgency strategy directly related to the development of the conflict, concluding with a summary view of the Rhodesian security situation both past and prese…

Africa, root causes and the ‘war on terror
Africa is severely affected by sub-state terrorism—a phenomenon that is deeply rooted in the crisis facing a number of African states. While the importance of root causes in so-called sub-state terrorism is generally accepted, this issue is hotly contested internationally in debates on terrorism. In fact, both sub-state and transnational terrorism have essentially local causes and linkages, and therefore much of what is categorised as terrorism s…

The Pan-African Parliament
Founded on the basis of the 1991 Treaty Establishing the African Economic Community that came into force in May 1994, the Pan-African Parliament (PAP) was inaugurated in Addis Ababa on 18 March 2004. The inauguration followed the ratification by a majority of the 53 African Union (AU) member states of the PAP Protocol that had come into force on 14 December 2003. While it is suggested that the PAP will oversee the AU Executive once the continenta…
Consolidating Peace and Security in Africa
Africa is faced with a range of security challenges, all of which require a long-term capacity-building approach. There are no quick solutions to instability and insecurity in Africa and the UK government should champion Africa at every meeting of the G8 and commit itself to the global reforms and initiatives required for an improvement in the continent’s current situation – a long-haul process. Since there is an abundance of literature on the in…
L'Afrique et le terrorisme
Le terrorisme, sous sa forme locale, étant depuis longtemps endémique en Afrique, le principal risque sur ce continent réside dans l’apparition à l’avenir d’une forme mixte et complexe de terrorisme à la fois national et international. L’Afrique pourrait éventuellement avoir un rôle central dans le développement du terrorisme international. Les motivations, les moyens et les cibles sont bien là. Les occasions ne pourront donc être éternellement m…
Ecosocc
Provision for an Economic, Social and Cultural Council (ECOSOCC) among the new organs of the African Union (AU) offers to bridge the distance between African governments and their peoples. Designed and implemented correctly, the Council could be an influential forum for the diverse voices of civil society. Greater popular involvement in government is a prerequisite for stability on the continent—particularly since governance is often weak, corrup…
Terrorism and Africa
This article first looks at the relationship between international terrorism and terrorism in Africa. Since sub-state terrorism is already endemic to Africa, the future threat potential in the continent lies in a complex mixture of sub-national and international terrorism. Africa may come to play a central role in international terrorism. The motivation, means and targets all exist and these opportunities will not go unheeded for much longer. Afr…
A Brave New South African Defence Industry
Extracted from text ... Little research has been done on the state of the South African defence industry since 1994. From an industry perspective, two related factors served it with a virtual death sentence in the late 1980s. The first factor was the end of the Cold War which left the world with considerably more capacity and capability to develop and produce arms than it needed or could afford. The second factor was the end of Apartheid in South…

The Right Intervention
Sovereignty has often been used to protect leaders at the expense of citizens. The Constitutive Act of the African Union (AU) allows for intervention without the consent of the target state in a way that the OAU system of complete consensus never did. Ensuring that intervention is effective is as important as the decision of when and why to intervene. Sanctions, criminal prosecutions and military interventions are the broad options available to t…

Towards a South African Policy on Preventive Diplomacy and Peace Support Operations
The first tangible result of this project was a round table seminar on South African Policy on Global Peace Support Efforts hosted by IDP in Cape Town on 17 and 18 May 1995. The purpose of the seminar was to engage key South Africans in a debate on preventive diplomacy, and more specifically, the role of the country in peace support operations. In particular, the criteria for, modus operandi of and restraints on South African participation in pea…

This study deals first with recent developments at the Organization of African Unity (OAU), in particular discussing developments regarding preventive diplomacy, the greater use of observer missions and general attempts to build capacity towards conflict avoidance and mediation within that organization.

Crowd dynamics
Although South Africa has experienced repeated waves of crowd and mass-based collective political violence, there are only a limited number of serious studies applied to our situation which investigate this most complex and controversial field. Here the broad systematic framework of Neil J. Smelser, as outlined in his 1962,book Theory on Collective Behaviour, is used to organize and integrate a wide variety of micro and meso theories Into a singl…
