Foreign consultants, racial segregation and dissent: JL Sadie and 1960s Southern Rhodesia

Focusing on Johannes L. Sadie, a South African economist hired to investigate the economic options of Southern Rhodesia at the time of the Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI), this chapter examines the historical, ideological, pedagogical, and international influences of the intersection between economic discourse and racial ideology. Using the example of the Sadie recommendations, this chapter examines how the changing political context informed the state’s approach to the economy. A reading of the context in which Sadie was hired to justify Rhodesia’s UDI and provide legitimacy to its economic policies sheds light onto the Ian Smith regime’s approach to an alternative post-imperial (but not post-settler) state and economy, but it also speaks of the ways in which economic discourse can be deployed for political purposes by authoritarian regimes

erest content to serve different clients more quickly than the client directly accessing the servers. As an alternative to expensive CDNs, these existing proxy resources can deliver media content inexpensively through effective resource management strategies, since the content of a media object doesn't change with time. Researchers have tried using proxy caching to deliver streaming media. Several partial caching 1-5 have been developed, because fullobject caching isn't generally feasible. Nevertheless, these approaches can't really adapt to the dynamically changing popularity of objects and user access patterns. For example, when an object is popular, most or all of its data should be cached. When the object is unpopular, a small amount or none of its data should be cached. Furthermore, existing schemes have paid little attention to the client demand for a continuous streaming service. To address these concerns, we studied how to leverage existing proxy resource
