This policy briefing by the South African Institute of International Affairs provides recommendations to the South African Parliament on establishing an inclusive blue economy for small-scale fishers. It examines the historical impact of apartheid-era dispossession, the challenges of implementing the 2012 Policy for the Small Scale Fisheries Sector (SSF policy), and the tension between social justice and environmental sustainability in fisheries governance.

This monograph, published by the Institute for Security Studies in February 1997, examines the strategic utility of naval power for South Africa in the post-Cold War era. It consists of several papers discussing the renewal of the South African Navy (SAN) fleet, the evolving nature of global security, and opportunities for maritime cooperation in the South Atlantic and Indian Ocean rims. The document highlights the SAN's struggle with obsolete equipment and funding shortages while arguing that naval power remains a flexible, benign tool for diplomacy, humanitarian aid, and the protection of marine resources and economic interests.
