What are the main drivers of political transition and regime change? And to what extent do these apparently seismic political changes result in real change? These questions are the focus of this comparative study written by a mix of scholars and practitioners. This state-of-the-art volume identifies patterns in political transitions, but is largely unconvinced that these transitions bring about real change to the underlying structures of society. Patriarchy, land tenure, and economic systems often remain immune to change, despite the headlines.

This paper was part of the proceedings of the first national conference organized by IDASA in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, on 8-9 May, 1987. The author argues that there will never be democratic government in South Africa unless two propositions are much more widely accepted than at present: (1) in political matters, always start with freedom rather than with power; (2) in economic matters, always start with welfare rather than with property rights

The present work evaluates the mechanical behaviour of High Modulus Polyethylene (HMPE) yarns after being impacted by sudden axial loads. The influence of loading conditions on the structural integrity of yarns is assessed by tensile, fatigue, and creep tests before and after the impact events. The impact loads were inferred by drop-weight adopting a 300mm height and weights corresponding to 4, 5, and 6% of Yarn Breaking Load (YBL). At 5% YBL, most specimens fail after the impact, and at 6% YBL, all specimens fail. The application of 4% YBL tests results in enhanced creep and fatigue resistances and a decrease in the tensile resistance. Finally, a Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis showed that the yarn filaments tend to straighten after the impact, while a decrease in their diameter is noticed due to the longitudinal deformation.
