Testo aggiuntivo

'In 1994, with the end of apartheid and the introduction of majority rule, most observers believed that South Africa was destined to become a regional hegemon, given its large economy and its highly professional and well-equipped army. Hamill carefully explains why South Africa's international standing has instead waned over the last two decades.'-- Nicolas van de Walle, Foreign Affairs, September/October 2018
