This edited collection provides a timely assessment of the foreign policy dilemmas faced by the 'new' South Africa as it reemerges into the community of nations following its transition to democracy. As such the book will appeal not only to students and academics specialising in Politics and International Relations but also to business people, government officials, aid workers and others with an interest in developments in South and Southern Africa. Contributors to the book include Deputy Foreign Minister Aziz Pahad and notable academics such as Jack Spence, Christopher Hill, Fred Ahwireng-Obeng and Patrick J. McGowan.
