Does the rise to power of an authoritarian political leader in Zimbabwe offer a glimpse of South Africa’s future?  Or will the different historical terrain and stronger institutions (the judiciary\, the media\, the political opposition and civil society) enable a positive alternative?  Above all\, what prospects are there for democratic forces within each country to secure greater accountability from hitherto dominant forces – be they corporate or state\, foreign or local? \n Linda Freeman \nLinda Freeman is an emeritus professor in the Department of Political Science and the Institute of African Studies at Carleton University.  Her study The Ambiguous Champion – Canada and South Africa in the Trudeau and Mulroney Years won the Harold Adams Innis Prize for best book in the social sciences\, written in English in 1998/9.  She specializes in African political economy\, with a particular interest in southern Africa.  She is working on a manuscript on South African relations with Zimbabwe. She has testified regularly to parliamentary sub-committees and is a frequent commentator on African affairs for the Canadian media. \n
