This book was released on 2022-07-20 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book discusses the Mozambique’s foreign policy framework in general, and towards South Africa, in particular, searching to understand why it has been characterized by the hostility-friendship dichotomy. The Book argues that asymmetry alone cannot explain the occurrence of the dichotomy as suggested by Womack’s asymmetry theory. In the case of Mozambique’s foreign policy, the dichotomy is caused by combination of factors namely: power asymmetry, ideological differences, leadership perceptions, economic disagreements and economic ties. However, it is highlighted that power asymmetry is the main factor of the dichotomy. This complexity and amalgamations of causes of the dichotomy makes it a permanent and distinctive feature of Mozambique’s foreign policy towards South Africa.Thus, the major contribution of this book is twofold. First, it presents a detailed and comprehensive analysis of Mozambique’s foreign affairs as they have interacted with South Africa. Second,by applying asymmetry theory to Mozambique the study makes a significant theoretical contribution to understanding the agency of the smaller side in bilateral asymmetric relationships.

Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002: The resurgence of the democratization movement in Africa in the post-Cold War era is gradually replacing authoritarianism with forms of democratic systems.

Download or read book Foreign Policy in Post Apartheid South Africa written by Adekeye Adebajo and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Africa is the most industrialized power in Africa. It was rated the continent's largest economy in 2016 and is the only African member of the G20. It is also the only strategic partner of the EU in Africa. Yet despite being so strategically and economically significant, there is little scholarship that focuses on South Africa as a regional hegemon. This book provides the first comprehensive assessment of South Africa's post-Apartheid foreign policy. Over its 23 chapters - -and with contributions from established Africa, Western, Asian and American scholars, as well as diplomats and analysts - the book examines the current pattern of the country's foreign relations in impressive detail. The geographic and thematic coverage is extensive, including chapters on: the domestic imperatives of South Africa's foreign policy; peace-making; defence and security; bilateral relations in Southern, Central, West, Eastern and North Africa; bilateral relations with the US, China, Britain, France and Japan; the country's key external multilateral relations with the UN; the BRICS economic grouping; the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group (ACP); as well as the EU and the World Trade Organization (WTO). An essential resource for researchers, the book will be relevant to the fields of area studies, foreign policy, history, international relations, international law, security studies, political economy and development studies.
Download or read book The Wired Model written by Greg Mills and published by Tafelberg. This book was released on 2000 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Dr Greg Mills, Director of the South African Institute of International Affairs, provides fascinating insights into the challenges facing African states in general, and South Africa and its foreign policy in particular. He assesses South African foreign policy during the years of transition from apartheid to democracy (1990-94), and during the 'honeymoon years' of international courtship (1994-99). He also analyses future options incisively. As one of the few books on foreign policy in a society that has undergone significant socio-political transition, this book should interest not only an academic audience looking for a basis for comparative study, but all those who care about South Africa and its place in the world.

Download or read book Mozambique s Foreign Policy written by Aditi Lalbahadur and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like many African countries with limited resources, Mozambique has been pragmatic in crafting and executing its foreign policy as an instrument to secure external support for its national interests. Extreme dependency on donor support (which has ranged from 70% of gross domestic product or GDP in 1992 to 39% in 2012) coupled with a limited fiscus has influenced the way in which the government has sought to engage regionally and with the rest of the world. Thus, Mozambique's foreign engagement has focused on carving out a policy space befitting that of a small, highly aid-dependent, low-income country in a somewhat unstable region. The government's dependence on the Group of 19 (G-19) donors for budget support -- its proximity to South Africa, Africa's economic and political hegemon, and the extent of post-war reconstruction challenges -- are other important factors influencing the ebb and flow of Mozambique's external engagements. An examination of all these factors through a foreign-policy paradigm makes it possible to discern three distinctive periods in the country's external relations. This paper identifies the exigencies that are distinctive of these periods and illustrates how the country's elites have fared against their own foreign-policy objectives. An assessment of the principles underpinning Mozambique's foreign policy forms the necessary baseline for the discussion.
Download or read book The Political Economy Of U s Policy Toward South Africa written by Kevin Danaher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By tracing U.S. involvement in South African political and economic development since the late 1800s, this book analyzes U.S. corporate and government motives for maintaining the political status quo in South Africa. In recent decades, according to the author, U.S. policy toward South Africa has grown more contradictory: Endeavoring to protect the United States's reputation on the question of race, government officials denounce apartheid, yet Washington remains the main force blocking an international response to South African policies. As the situation in South Africa continues to polarize, the U.S. is increasingly isolated in its position of verbally condemning yet materially supporting South Africa's white minority regime--a regime confronting the distinct possibility of civil war.
Download or read book The Crisis of South African Foreign Policy written by Matthew Graham and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-28 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of a 'new' democratic South Africa under Nelson Mandela was regarded as a high watermark for international ideals of human rights and democracy. Much was expected of the ANC in power, particularly that it would be able to translate its ideals into a coherent foreign policy for the African continent. Yet its foreign policy since 1994 has been mired in accusations of incoherence, contradiction and failure. Here, based on extensive archival research and interviews, Matthew Graham offers new ways of interpreting South Africa's foreign policy by investigating the continuities and discontinuities of the ANC's international relations - from exile to political power. Charting the political intrigues during the country's transition from apartheid, and the subsequent influences on Presidents Mandela and Mbeki, The Crisis of South African Foreign Policy makes a vital contribution to our understanding of why post-apartheid South Africa has failed to lead Africa on the world stage.
