Here, we must consider the often neglected relations between multiple communities (e.g. different migrant groups) in the process of (un)settlement but also bear in mind that people co-exist and interact with a myriad of other elements themselves in circulation, from objects and merchandise to non-human actors. Building on these premises, this introduction introduces important themes of the vestiges of migration in post-independence Southern Africa. Drawing on numerous debates around the political economy of migration as crisis, identity formations, citizen and belonging, this introduction addresses how critical border-making and border-crossing processes have been, and still are, shaping trajectories of movements in Southern Africa.

The rise of China, India, Brazil, resurgence of Russia and other emerging economies has meant the reshaping and shift of centers of global economic power relations. This has presented challenges in particular to the Western world in global governance. Given that sanctions have been traditionally used to force perceived recalcitrant states to comply with Western norms of democracy; the effect of multipolarity has meant alternative pressure points for nations slapped with Western sanctions. This study sought to assess the strategic relevance of sanctions as a democratising tool in an emerging multipolar world, using Zimbabwe as a case study. Qualitative research methodology was adopted in this study. This included the use of a case study, and secondary review of existing literature to obtain information for the st...

Robert Mugabe claims that the ghosts of colonialism have come to haunt Zimbabwe and caused unforetold suffering to Zimbabweans through western imposed sanctions, and with the MDC the west is the major culprit for calling for sanctions. This attempt to reinvent the political and economic history of Zimbabwe has been discussed in academic circles; thus, Professor David Moore notes the emergence of Agrarian nationalists or what Terence Ranger terms patriotic history. This illusion has informed many policy and position debates on Zimbabwe at regional and international fora as various interested stakeholders seek to unlock the Zimbabwe logjam. However this elisionistic interpretation of the Zimbabwe crisis has been allowed at the expense of Zimbabweans' quest for change. Exhausted nationalism and anti-imperialis...

The general objective is to contribute to the debate about how Zimbabwe's post-colonial civil society has theorised about change and, importantly, the deeply contested nature of the agency that this has generated. The article concentrates on how civil society structured itself and acted before the elections on 31 July 2013, which the ruling Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (Zanu-PF) 'won resoundingly'. What emerges is that while the economic despair of the 1990s and the breakdown in the national consensus mobilised an almost 'popular democratic front' this changed course in the subsequent decade, weakening the 'popular' and 'democratic' nature of civil society agency. The foundation of 'liberal rights' and 'democracy' and 'good governance' powerfully amalgamated in the National Constitutional Assembly (NCA) and the 'No Vote' in 2000 became theoretically feeble and revealed a debilitating post-colonial impasse-an interregnum during which an urban-based intelligentsia-led theorisation and agency was momentarily checkmated by a violent nationalist authoritarianism. 1 Here 'MDCs' will refer to all the factions. In cases where we need to delineate, the following will be used: Movement for Democratic Change-Tsvangirai (MDC-T); Movement for Democratic Change-Mutambara (MDC-M); Movement for Democratic Change-99 (MDC-99) 2 See www.newzimbabwe.com/news-14549-MDC-,+West+hit+by+lightning+Mugabe/news.aspx. Here 'JUICE' refers to the MDC Manifesto entitled 'Jobs, Upliftment, Investment Capital and Environment'. 3 For an exploration of 'violence' and 'governing' in Zimbabwe, see Sachikonye 2011.
