Since 1994, South Africa has radically transformed its role in Africa. The one-time apartheid pariah is now a continental leader that is both envied and resented. Its politicians and diplomats have worked on peace interventions and new Pan-African institutions, while South African business has practically stampeded north of the Limpopo in search of new markets.
In this rigorous, policy-relevant book, a diverse group of Pan-African scholars examine South Africa's post-apartheid foreign policy, arguing that an effective foreign policy requires a strong domestic base.
The book assesses key regional challenges for South Africa - leadership, military and economic power - and less conventional foreign policy concerns such as land conflict and HIV/AIDS. Detailed case studies describe South Africa's role in developing the AU and NEPAD, and its relations with strategic countries in West, Southern, and North Africa, the Great Lakes region, and the Horn of Africa.
This unique volume is the first in-depth study of South Africa's critical role in Africa over the last thirteen years.
