This volume brings together some of the best-known and highly-regarded academics in the field to present a timely and comprehensive review of the prospects for economic integration and development in Southern Africa, and to analyse alternative strategies and policies for the future. It presents in-depth country-specific studies of Botswana, Lesotho, Mauritius, Mozambique and Tanzania, and has wide appeal to both policy makers and academics. Booknews From the proceedings of the August 1996 symposium come 15 contributions on South Africa's transition from apartheid and the impact of this change on the region and its individual countries. South African issues explored include patterns of inequality in the labor market and trade and industrial policy. Six regional studies discuss integration and the cereal trade, the role of micro and small enterprises, possibilities for monetary integration, the effects of structural adjustment programs, and trade integration. Finally the impact of post-apartheid integration is examined in regard to the economies of Botswana, Lesotho, Mauritius, Mozambique, and Tanzania. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
