Author Description

"Senegal has a well-established democracy, and is one of the most, if not the most stable country in the politically insecure francophone west African region. The country is also recognized as having the best macroeconomic profile of the eight West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) member states... Bilateral relations between South Africa and Senegal have improved progressively since diplomatic relations were established in May 1994. The Senegalese embassy was re-established in Pretoria in 2001. The deepening of relations between the two countries in recent years is based on common political and economic beliefs, and on visions for the future that apply not only to South Africa and Senegal, but also to Africa as a whole."--Executive summary (p. 1)
