HAFFNER, Jacqueline A.. The formation of the South African national state. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2022, n.76, pp.79-93.  Epub 31-Dic-2022. ISSN 1645-9199.  https://doi.org/10.23906/ri2022.76a05.

With the discovery of gold and diamonds in abundance in the territory, the present South Africa experienced successive wars for the control of the production of ores, in the midst of the migration of colonists and the expulsion of indigenous people from their lands. This article aims to establish the historical and structural determinants that have shaped the formation of South Africa as a modern national state. It will try to emphasize the relevance of the historical study for the comprehension of a larger political phenomenon of the contemporaneity, insofar as it puts in relevance the construction of an advanced political unit along the lines of peripheral capitalism.

Palabras clave : South Africa; history; national State; evolution.
