The Geography of Change in South Africa

South Africa is currently undergoing great change. Since apartheid is essentially a territorial policy, this change is essentially geographical. This volume offers an analysis of the social implications of these changes. It summarizes the three sets of challenges facing South Africa: the immediate challenges of constitutional transition; the challenges of domestic policy for a new government in terms of meeting exaggerated expectations in the context of a stagnant economy, poverty and unemployment, extreme inequalities and limited resources; and the challenges of reformulating economic and political relations with South Africa's regional neighbours.
