This study examines the likely effects of Export Processing Zones (EPZs) as introduced or proposed in Southern Africa. It draws on the experiences of other countries, in particular Mauritius which has been hailed as one of the great African success stories in this respect. EPZs are evaluated in terms of: their effects on trade union and worker rights; their effects on working conditions in general, and the situation of women workers in particular; their broader social, environmental, financial and economic effects; and their implications for national economic development and regional co-operation and development in the context of Southern Africa.

This book brings together the reports presented at a regional workshop on Resolution of Labour Disputes in Southern Africa held in Harare from 30 July to 4 August 1995. The reports explore the nature of labour conflict and the legal framework for resolving industrial disputes. The reporters discuss the failure of most legal systems in the region to acknowledge the usefulness of trade unions and collective bargaining as processes for resolving labour conflict and examine various alternative models for managing labour conflict and resolving disputes, including conciliation, mediation, arbitration and specialist labour tribunals, and alternative dispute resolutions (ADR) mechanisms.
