Trade, Development and Security in Africa: Report of the 2005 Tswalu Dialogue

Whitehall Paper, 25 Jul 2006 By Terence McNamee, Greg Mills,Monde Muyangwa & Kurt Shillinger

In 2005, Africa was higher on the international agenda than at any previous time in history, for both economic and strategic reasons. Against this backdrop, the fourth Tswalu Dialogue considered the imperative for Africa of the three increasingly braided strands of global diplomacy: trade, development and security.

Report of the 2005 Tswalu Dialogue

The Tswalu Dialogue commenced in 2002 as an initiative of Jennifer and Jonathan Oppenheimer in conjunction with the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA). The Dialogue provides a unique forum for political leaders, diplomats, senior military strategists, business people, policy analysts and academics to discuss matters of critical importance to Africa’s development. In 2004, SAIIA entered into a partnership over Tswalu with RUSI. In 2005 the Dialogue grew again, adding the US-based Africa Center for Strategic Studies and The Brenthurst Foundation, a new South African think tank devoted to the study of African economic growth.

This year Africa is higher on the international agenda than at any previous time in history, for both economic and strategic reasons. Against this backdrop, the fourth Tswalu Dialogue considered the imperative for Africa of the three increasingly braided strands of global diplomacy: trade, development and security.
