Setting out the problem of security and placing it in an historical
framework, the author of this work picks his way through the
complexities of political theory and the tangled political history
of southern Africa. He argues that the present formation of states
has been shaped by the struggle of the African peoples for
emancipation and the resistance of the European settler
communities; and that South Africa has attempted to maintain
regional order based on principles of domination, exploitation and
inequality, founded on a colonial past and apartheid. The result
has been a security system which is inherently militaristic,
nation-focused and state-centred, and has led to confrontation
within states and in the region. Zacarius therefore explores the
concept of "people-centred" security and the "legitimate state",
and regards these as essential building blocks in ensuring state
and regional stability and security.
