- 1990
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Adaptive strategies cannot be fully understood on the basis of environmental constraints alone. The essays presented in this book confirm this and provide material showing how environmental and socio-political processes interact in the making of adaption. The essays eludiate how manifestations of adaptability problems differ from region to region. such variations depend on the natural environment as well as the particular histories of development, socio-economic characteristics and the nature of the state. This collection of essays try to provide som answers to the problems emanating from different types of variation, and how they affect processes of adaption and change in African arid land.

The siege of Cuito Cuanavale
- 1990
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- "Between October 1987 and June 1988 in the fiercest conventional battles on African soil since Erwin Rommel was defeated at El Amien in World War II (1942) the troops of the South African Defence Forces (SADF) fought pitched tank and artillery battles with the Angolan army (FAPLA) and her Cuban supporters at Cuito Cuanavale. This small base located in Southeastern Angola became important in the military history of Africa for the South African army, supposedly the best equipped army in Africa, was trapped with its tanks and long range howitzers and were held down more than three hundred miles from their bases in Namibia, a territory which was illegally occupied. Failing to go forward to take Cuito Cuanavale with over 9000 soldiers even after announcing to the world that Cuito Cuanavale had fallen, losing their superiority in the air, faced with mutinies from the black troops of the pressed ganged battalions, the President of South Africa inside Angola, when the operational command of the SADF broke down. It had required the personal intervention of the President to settle a dispute inside the State Security Council of South Africa, whether the apartheid society could afford to send any more troops into Angola."

South African minerals : an analysis of Western dependence
- 1990
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study examines the thesis about Western dependency on South african minerals. An analysis of world production, trade and consumption patterns leads to conclusions about South Africa's role as supplier, and possible alternatives in southern Africa and elsewhere. The study gives an up-to-date picture of the South African role as minerals supplier in the southern Africa region, and is at the same time an insightful review of one key element of the sanctions debate of the last decade.
