Swaziland Newsletter Extra
Published by Southern Africa Contact (Denmark)

Swaziland Research and Policy Forum


Southern Africa Contact (Denmark) wishes to extend the scope of the Swaziland
Newsletter which it has published for the last three years.

While maintaining the newsletter as such, our intention is to create a forum for
papers, essays and commentaries on historical, political, economic, social and
cultural aspects of the present situation in Swaziland.

You are already now hereby invited to submit such contributions.

These will, if necessary, be edited by Southern Africa Contact and ensuing
debate will be firmly moderated.

We believe this initiative can assist in raising the level of both research and
policy debate on the future of Swazi society. It is vital, not least for the
Swazi people, to create the best possible conditions for a peaceful democratic
transformation of the present political system.

Swaziland Newsletter is distributed to more than 1200 private and
institutional recipients in Europe, Southern Africa and the United States,
among others to a large number of university institutes.

Institutes of African Studies have been specially invited to participate in the
creation of the proposed research and policy forum.

Depending on the outcome of this initiative, a selection of papers and essays
may be published as a paper edition.

Please also disseminate this proposal through your networks. It is important to
involve as broad a political and academic capacity as at all possible in this
effort.

Perhaps, you might also consider drafting a preliminary list of themes which you
feel would be particularly relevant for future research and policy debate. Any
comment or further suggestions are more than welcome. All correspondence to be
directed to pmm@....
