Zambian Crisis Behaviour: Confronting Rhodesia's Unilateral Declaration of Independence, 1965-1966 [Hardcover]

Douglas G. Anglin (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1994

Rhodesia's racially inspired rebellion and subsequent Unilateral Declaration of Independence from Britain in November 1965 had profound implications for neighbouring Zambia's national security and economic survival. Focusing on Zambia's response to the economic and military threat posed by Rhodesia, this book gives an analysis of the foreign policy decision-making process under conditions of crisi-induced stress. In this study, Douglas Anglin describes the process of crisis decision-making in Zambia through a detailed reconstruction of the most critical decisions of 1965-1966, and assesses the effect of crisis-induced stress on the policy outcomes of President Kenneth Kaunda and other Zambian leaders.
