The idea for examining the regional dynamics of Namibia's decolonization arose in early 1985 as a result of my ongoing interest in southwestern Africa since I had witnessed the first South African invasion of Angola in 1975/76 as a delegate of the International Committee of the Red Cross. The research was undertaken as part of a post-doctoral project supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation. This enabled me to conduct extensive research in the region, notably in the Frontline states.

Extremely helpful exchanges of ideas with colleagues working at the United Nations Institute for Namibia in Lusaka, at the University of Zimbabwe and the Centro de Estudos Africanos in Maputo enabled me to formulate the hypotheses which are pertinent for the understanding of Namibia's decolonization from a regional vantage point. They were followed by extensive research in the region's archives and libraries, thus supplementing preliminary research carried out in Geneva, England and Portugal. Moreover, Frontline state diplomats and members of southern African liberation movements gave me invaluable insights into the sometimes complex relationships between liberation movements on one hand, and between SWAPO and the Frontline states on the other. Their openness has been greatly appreciated, and I thank all the individuals who have thus contributed to the successful conclusion of the research.
