“…Conversely, the second propos-al was led by Nigeria and South Africa, countries that defended the conservation of the sovereign states, and understood that the OAU should be a protagonist in inter-African relations. However, while Abuja defended the characteristic points of the Kampala Movement, Pretoria emphasised that the organisation should not only create norms, principles, and a new structure, but also regulate the conduct of the member states in order for them to respect and accept the resolutions adopted under the organisation's scope (Landsberg 2012).…”

The present work discusses the evolution of the development and international insertion strategies adopted by nations in the African continent since the mid-20th century, period during which they began to achieve formal independence. In this context, supported by a literature review and official documents issued by African international organisations, the aim of this analysis is to understand the meaning and the importance of Agenda 2063 for this issue. Based on this analysis, the article proposes to demonstrate that such an agenda represents the inauguration of a new development and international insertion strategy in the continent, a hybrid one, that reconciles elements of two of the previously adopted approaches: the strategies of contestation and of mutual and shared responsibility.

“…Ao longo dessa transição, duas vertentes passaram a ser predominantes, sendo a primeira simbolizada pelo desejo da Líbia em criar os Estados Unidos 11-25 da África, isto é, mover o continente para a formação de um Estado Federalista. Já a segunda, englobava os interesses da Nigéria, país que defendia maior participação da organização em temas relacionados à segurança, e da África do Sul, cuja percepção era de que a nova organização deveria ser marcada tanto pela criação de regras e normas quanto também e, fundamentalmente, pelo comprometimento dos países-membros em acatar tais criações (Landsberg 2012a). Grosso modo, a segunda vertente foi predominante, uma vez que pontos como segurança humana, valorização e construção de princípios, de instituições, de estruturas políticas e de mecanismos que pudessem regular o comportamento dos Estados passaram a fazer parte da UA (CAAU 2000).…”

Inserção Regional em tempos de intolerância

O artigo possui como objetivo principal analisar a interação entre a imigração africana rumo à África do Sul e o processo de inserção deste país no continente africano ao longo das administrações Mandela, Mbeki, Zuma e Ramaphosa. A partir de revisão da literatura e da análise de documentos oficiais, busca-se defender a hipótese de que há o descolamento entre a intenção de Pretoria em ser mais atuante na África e a efetivação, de fato, de tal objetivo, visto que o processo de inserção no continente acaba sendo limitado pela dificuldade em romper com as ondas de intolerância para com o imigrante.

“…The essence of Maserumule's argument in his article, therefore, is that a core challenge, amongst several others that South Africans must brace themselves up for, is the task of transforming their democratic state into a 'developmental state', which would deliver the economic dividends of multi-racial democracy to all South Africans. Chris Landsberg's (2012) contribution is based on an assertion made by Kondlo in his In The Twilight of the Revolution that aspects of the foreign policy agenda on Africa that successive ANCled governments in South Africa have pursued derived from the PAC's Pan-Africanist ideals. But the pertinent query, which Landsberg ought to have raised and probably addressed in the discourse that he weaved in his article is: are there some foundational maladies that have practically inhibited Africa's contemporary states from performing up to the expectations of their respective populace in every aspect of their lives ever since the end of de facto colonial rule all over the continent?…”

Post-Liberation South Africa: Sorting Out the Pieces

The written history and narratives of the anti-apartheid liberation struggle in South Africa has been cast, albeit erroneously, as if it was waged and won solely by the African National Congress (ANC), its ally the South African Communist Party (SACP), and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU), the three alliance partners that have held the reins of state power since the first multi-racial democratic elections in 1994. The truth is that the Pan-Africanist Congress (PAC) of Azania, the Azania People’s Organization (AZAPO), the New Unity Movement (NUMO), and several other liberation movements played significantly vital roles in that struggle. The ensuing discourse puts this state of affairs on the PAC’s diminished status in the politics of post-liberation South Africa, which derives partly from its radical antecedents from its inception that placed it apart from the ANC from which it split in 1959, earned it immediate proscription from the apartheid stage before it could root itself properly as well as notoriety in the West. The discourse argues and concludes that a more comprehensive narrative and written history of that struggle will benefit the on-going quest for the transformation of South Africa’s multi-racial democracy and the course of democracy in the rest of Africa.
