Crucial to an understanding of regional dynamics in southern Africa is the enormous asymmetry between South Africa and the other states. South Africa in Southern Africa takes an extended look at the various relationships between South Africa and its neighbors. In-depth studies include the military legacy stemming from South Africa's policy of destabilization, especially in small-arms proliferation and in land mines; the reengagement of South Africa with the region through a peacetime foreign policy; economic integration, focusing on electricity and the sugar trade; and patterns of migration -- both legal and illegal -- and a sobering assessment of the implications of the spread of HIV/AIDS.
