Preface
This collection is a product of a conference on "The Dynamics
of Change in Southern Mrica" held at the University of
Melbourne from 18 to 20 May 1992. The papers delivered at it
have been revised for publication and two further papers were
commissioned for this volume.
I have a considerable number of people to thank for helping
in the editing of this volume. In particular I should like to
thank Mr Craig Londsdale, the computer officer of the Depart
ment of Political Science at the University of Melbourne, for
assistance in solving the many technical problems involved in
editing a variety of discs using a range of programmes. In addi
tion I am grateful for the considerable secretarial assistance
provided by Rita Graselli, Wendy Ruffles and Jan Souter of the
Department. Finally, I am in an incalculable debt to my wife,
Isabel.
