The hope and despair surrounding the Afro-Arab spring in North
African countries have only just begun to be played out in regional
and global politics. Similarly, the call for an African renaissance
that followed what has been called a 'miraculous' negotiated
political transition in South Africa is, 20 years later, viewed
with ambiguity. It is clear that current developments in Africa -
North and South - promise something markedly different to what has
prevailed at any point since the dawn of the African independence
movements in the 1950s. This inspires the suggestion that these
developments are reminiscent of the 'European moment' in 1989 that
saw the fall of the Berlin Wall. Countries such as Mali, the
Central African Republic, Cote d'Ivoire, Somalia and Zimbabwe are
experiencing turbulence every bit as challenging as that in the
Afro-Arab countries and South Africa. This book specifically
identifies and assesses lessons learned and insights gained from
the South African transition and considers whether these lessons
and insights have any significance for Arab Spring countries. In
turn, current protests and emerging threats to democracy in the
Arab spring countries are highlighted as realities which South
Africa would do well to ponder.
