Vol. 8 / SOUTH AFRICA IN AFRICA

No. 6 - October 2008: SOUTH AFRICA'S SUBIMPERIAL FUTURES: WASHINGTON CONSENSUS, BANDUNG CONSENSUS OR A PEOPLES CONSENSUS?
 
By William G Martin
 
Growing resistance to neo-liberal policies together with the rise of East-South relations over North-South ones have introduced a "radical shift" in the global economic and political order. They have also introduced fundamental questions about the sustainability of the post-apartheid expansion of South African capital and influence into the rest of Africa.
In this final article of our series on "South Africa in Africa", William Martin outlines some possible future scenarios involving South Africa.
