The Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA) is an
independent organisation whose principal objectives are to facilitate research, promote
research-based publishing and create multiple forums geared towards the exchange
of views and information among African researchers. All these are aimed at reducing
the fragmentation of research in the continent through the creation of thematic research
networks that cut across linguistic and regional boundaries.
The Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC), South Africa’s statutory research agency,
conducts research that generates critical and independent knowledge relating to all aspects
of human and social development. Poverty alleviation and public policy development and
implementation are central to all its research activities. Its research extends beyond South
Africa’s borders through projects and collaborations in other African countries. The HSRC’s
collaborative approach to research enables interaction with research experts in South Africa,
elsewhere in Africa, and internationally.

Introduction
The Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa
(CODESRIA) and the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) jointly
initiated a project on ‘South Africa’s continental engagement’ three years
ago. This research project is conducted within the framework of the
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by CODESRIA and the
HSRC to work in partnership to advance debate and social investiga-
tion in Africa. One of the themes of the joint programmes for research,
is the role of South Africa in Africa and the role of foreign Africans in
South Africa.
The ‘South Africa in Africa’ research project investigates the reciprocal
political and economic impact of South Africa in Africa. South Africa’s
role is contextualised within the global experience of regional powers,
and the roles of South African government, business, labour and civil
society are interrogated. The research project also reflects on the gap
that often exists between perceptions of South Africa’s role, and the
actual realities of South Africa’s engagements. One way of addressing
this gap is the combined effort of CODESRIA and the HSRC to provide
empirically grounded, historical, comparative and theoretical research
into South Africa’s relations with the continent. This investigation into
the political and economic dimensions of reciprocal relations between
South Africa and other African states and economies will not only fa-
cilitate a better understanding of intra-African relations, but also lay the
basis for policy recommendations for realising the negation of unequal
relations between South Africa and other countries of the continent.
A challenge to the scholar and activist of South Africa and Africa,
however, is that the above issues are not consolidated into a sub-theme
of any particular discipline but dispersed across different disciplines in
political science, anthropology, sociology, economics and geography, to
mention only some. This can pose a big and even insurmountable chal-
lenge to those who would like to investigate a particular aspect of South
Africa’s relations with the region, particularly practitioners and scholars

in less resourced parts of Africa. The aim of the annotated bibliography
is to provide such scholars and practitioners with a consolidated list of
some of the material available in this area of research and analysis. It
is not comprehensive but should go some way towards providing the
references for relevant sources of information.
The annotated bibliography focuses on the post-Apartheid period
as an important and particular historical period for South Africa’s
continental relations. (A few entries pre-date this period but help to
contextualise the references provided in the annotated bibliography.)
The annotated bibliography is organised into seven sections: I. South
Africa, Africa and Global Relations; II. Conceptualising South Africa as
an Actor in Africa; III. Governance, Security, Peace Building; IV. Trade
and Corporate Expansion; V. Social Movements. VI. The Politics of Re-
gionalism in Africa; VII. Gender and South Africa in Africa.
CODICE (the CODESRIA Documentation and Information Centre)
and researchers in the Democracy & Governance programme of the
HSRC compiled the annotated bibliography. The CODESRIA database
and other online databases have been used for the production of this
bibliography, including research outputs generated in the South Africa
in Africa research project. The entries are organised alphabetically in
the above seven themes. The selected documents are in English, with
a few French entries.
We hope that this bibliography will be useful and help to develop a
network of scholars and practitioners in this area of investigation.
