Title: Regionalism
First published: 1993
Description: Since 1992 the South African debate on regional government has shifted its focus to the content of regional government and the way that it could contribute to democratisation, improved government, the prevention of conflict and the accommodation of ethnic and other diversities. The Centre for Constitutional Analysis at the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) has been actively involved in the stimulation and development of the debate on regional government in South Africa. Some of the initiatives taken by the Centre have included comparative research, the running of workshops, the involvement of international scholars and various publications. This latest book attempts to make a practical contribution to the debate and is therefore intended to provide practitioners with a framework that could be used for the solving of problems that are faced in and outside of the negotiation process.
