| Abstract: | In 1977 the United States joined with four other Western nations to create the Contact Group, a unique, ad hoc multilateral effort to negotiate an internationally acceptable plan for the independence of Namibia. Extensive interviews with past and present U.S., U.N., and other officials provide a basis for analyzing the Contact Group, the advantages and liabilities of such and ad hoc multilateral approach, and the circumstances under which such an approach is likely to be useful in the future. |
