This vividly-written book is the first comprehensive assessment of the origins of the present-day democratic regime in Portugal to be placed in a broad international historical context. After a vibrant account of the collapse of the old regime in 1974, it studies the complex revolutionary period that followed, and the struggle in Europe and Africa to define the future role of Europe's then poorest country. International repercussions are examined and comparisons are drawn with the more general collapse of communism in the late 1980s.

In many ways the defense posture of a state (which may, of course, be aggressive) stands as hard evidence of its ruling elite's self-image and perception of its territorial mission. As a component of foreign policy, defense policy may also be viewed as instrumental to domestic configurations of power. Thus it is the purpose of this paper to examine various features of South African defense legislation as they have evolved since 1912. It will also discuss them in the context of the gradual emergence of a relatively united white "nation" out of the dichotomy of the Afrikaner volk and English-speakers loyal to the British crown, the two components of the embryonic white polity when the Union of South Africa was formed in 1910.
