Williams Index 218 Preface The idea for this book was developed at three one-day workshops exploring South African multilateral diplomacy during the academic year 2003–2004. We would like to thank the Diplomatic Studies Research Group and the Security Studies Research Group of the University of Birmingham for hosting two of the workshops. We would also like to thank the Department of International Relations at the London School of Economics for hosting the other workshop. The School of Social Sciences, University of Birmingham generously provided additional funding to cover the travel costs of visiting scholars from Africa. Without the financial support of these institutions this project would never have got off the ground. The project benefited greatly from the active participation of staff and graduate students from both institutions as well as several visiting schol- ars from within the United Kingdom and Africa. In particular we would like to thank Chris Alden, George Lawson, Marie Muller, Tim Shaw, Keith Shear and Andy Williams for their helpful criticism on the papers presented at the workshop. We would also like to thank the anonymous reviewers of an earlier draft of the manuscript for their supportive commentary and many useful suggestions for improvement. This book is dedicated to the memory of Lisa Jane Bloxham – partner to James Hamill and mother to Sean and Finn – who died suddenly and tragically in April 2005. Lisa took a keen interest in South African politics, visiting the country many times in its post-apartheid era. She was greatly loved and will be deeply missed by family and friends. ix
