Description:
This book considers the identity, direction, and intentions of post-apartheid South African foreign policy. Through an exploration of the nature and trajectory of key bilateral relationships from both the global 'South' (Brazil, China, Iran, the AU) and 'North' (Japan and the UK), it deepens understanding of the country's evolving international role.
Review Quotes:
"With South Africa's domestic political landscape overshadowing its global affairs at present, the analysis put forward in this volume provides a renewed impetus to the study of South Africa's foreign policy after 1994."
Sanusha Naidu, Institute for Global Dialogue, South Africa, South African Journal of International Affairs
"The contribution of this book is significant for its focus on bilateral relations, moving beyond much of the literature that has so far focused on South Africa's broader foreign policy development and implementation, particularly in the multilateral system of governance. Given the number of bi-national commisions (BNCs) and strategic partnerships that South Africa has agreed, this is indeed an area that is in the need of further interrogration in terms of its strategic value."
