Uppsala, Scandinavian Institute of African Studies, Centrefor Development Research Publications 8, 1989, 136 pp., ISBN-91-7106-294-7, US$51,55.To date few studies have managed to present an overview of the relatedaspects of investment and industrial development in Southern Africa in anarticulate manner. The two works under review, Industrialization and Invest-ment Incentives in Southern Africa and SADCC Beyond Transportation arepioneers in this field of research. They also exhort governments andinvestors to go beyond traditional concerns such as transport and com-munications or agriculture and mining and to undertake initiatives inindustrial co-operation and development.Industrialization and Investment Incentives in Southern Africa gives abrilliant explanation of the historical dynamics of the region. Chapter Oneby B. Bench describes the countries of Southern Africa in terms of industrialcore-areas (such as South Africa) and peripheries of industrial core-areas(such as Lesotho). After a satisfactory historical survey of regionalorganizations in the sub-region in Chapter Two by D. Mbilima each chapterprovides a case study of industrial progress in one of the countries ofSouthern Africa (Angola and Namibia excepted) and exposes the majorconstraints to stronger industrial development in that country. In mostchapters the statistical data are well presented in diagrammatic form.In the concluding chapter G. Maasdorp paints a rather depressingpicture of the industrial situation and the investment incentives in theregion Š a conclusion based on demonstrated historical trends and certainidentifiable obstacles and constraints confronting Southern African econ-omies. The authors leave the reader in no doubt that much more needs tobe done to attract more investment and stimulate industrial development.The present environment is not conducive to industrial entrepreneurship.SADCC Beyond Transportation has much in common with Industrial-ization and Investment Incentives in Southern Africa as industrial co-operationand development are the central themes for both studies. The author of82 BOOK REVIEWSthe former book, Tom 0stergaard, is right when he states that SADCCmember states had reason to focus their efforts on transport and com-munication during most of the 1980s as South Africa's dominance andpenalizing capacity vis-a-vis SADCC in this sector was enormous. But0stergaard soon reminds us that the 1980s are now over and that the newdecade offers new challenges, requiring different strategies, and one otthese strategies is investment and co-operation in the industrial sector.While acknowledging that SADCC and indeed all Southern Africanstates should invest and co-operate more in the industrial sector, 0*Jj?pgaard issues a word of caution. He provides a case study of the SADCLtractor industry, demonstrating how well-intentioned investment anaindustrial strategies can collapse. For industrial success, SADCC (a"^today's SADC) member states need to address various, inter-relateaobstacles: the evasive action of transnational corporations, for example>and external bank/financial controls, national restrictions and inter-statecompetition, and the unnecessary policy conditions of both donor agendesand multilateral institutions. 0stergaard suggests ways in which pol'cvinitiatives and programme actions could be undertaken by SADCC statf*to reverse such constraints and to guarantee increased success in industrialco-operation and development.There is no doubt that these two works provide an excellent beginflin»in the understanding of past investments and industrial action and t"enew challenges for SADC states and the broader Southern African regi°n-University of Zimbabwe A.
