Berridge, G. R.: The Politics of the South Africa Run. European Shipping and Pretoria.
-Clarendon Press, 1987-
First edition. xii+254 pages with index. Cloth. Fine in like dustjacket. This book deals with a hitherto neglected aspect of South Africa's foreign policy: the way in which its government has enlisted European shipping companies in the service of its national interests. What emerges is a fascinating account of the relationship between the Conference of Shipping Lines (the shipowners' cartel) and the South African government, the dominance of the Conference by the Union-Castle Line, the extraordinary political and commercial skills of the Cayzer family, and the all-pervading influence of the growth of South African nationalism after the last war. Through his exploration of South Africa's overall relationship with Western capitalism, and the strategy the South African government has employed since the early 1960s to prepare itself for sanctions, Dr Berridge has made an important contribution to our understanding of the role of multi-national companies in the international economy. Advanced first-degree students and postgraduates of contemporary South Africa, transport history, and international political economy and all those professionally involved with European and South African shipping communities may find this book of interest. First edition offered at original price. All items are as described and dispatched within 36 hours in a secure package.
