As dramatic changes unfold throughout the world, and the new
millennium begins, many in South Africa have begun to ask 'what
next'? The scale and pace of change have led to a feeling of
powerlessness. How to cope with 'globalization', 'regionalization',
a depleting ozone layer, new diseases, rampant militarization, let
alone unseen structures of influence and oppression like race,
class and gender? While there is no shortage of theoretical models
on offer many feel that they are inadequate for the case of
Southern Africa. In this book, scholars of both international
relations and Southern Africa present a wide variety of thoughts on
the future of the reign and the place of theory in helping us to
understand the bewildering array of events characterizing the
late-modern, early twenty-first century world. This book marks a
'call to theory': if Southern Africans are to overcome the divisive
legacy of the past, and to move toward a more prosperous and
sustainable collective future, theory must be placed at the centre
of everyday life. For it is our understanding of the world that
shapes both it and us.
