| Summary: | The nature and purposes of the post-apartheid South African foreign policy have
become matters of intense debate and great confusion. This primarily emanates
from the political reality of contemporary South Africa and the new global settings
in general. The end of the cold war and apartheid provided an opportunity for
foreign policy-makers and academics to re-assess South Africa's relations with
the rest of the world. These developments raised questions for the democratic
government. Where do such changes leave the new South Africa, and more
importantly which foreign policy strategies serve it best? As a middle-range
power, South Africa joined hands with other like-minded states in embracing
multilateral mechanisms as tools of foreign policy. |
