Hentzaddresses changes in South Africa's strategies for regional cooperation and economicdevelopment since its transition from apartheid to democracy. Hentz focuses on whythe new South African government continues to make regional cooperation a priorityand what methods this dominant state uses to pursue its neighborly goals.

An extensivediscussion of South African politics provides the context for Hentz's exploration ofthe more widely felt effects of domestic change. Readers interested in theinternational organization of the politics and economy of southern Africa will findthought-provoking material in this important book.
