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.
