Title: Labor and democracy in Namibia, 1971-1996
First published: 1998
Description: Labor and Democracy in Namibia, 1971-1995 argues that a vibrant and autonomous civil society is crucial to the consolidation of new democracies, and it identifies trade unions, in particular, as especially important organizations of civil society. In Namibia, however, trade unions have emerged from the liberation struggle and the first years of independence in a weakened state. Dr.

Bauer gives a lucid explanation for this phenomenon by tracing the origins and evolution of the trade unions in Namibia and discusses the implications for the future of democracy in Namibia.
