Democratic South Africa's Foreign Policy: Voting Behaviour in the United Nations

This book provides readers with the first comprehensive study of South AfricaÆs foreign policy conducted in a multilateral setting, by placing on record over 1000 of South AfricaÆs votes at the United Nations over a 20 year period. The study investigates consistency in terms of South AfricaÆs declared foreign policy and its actual voting practices at the United Nations. Democratic South AfricaÆs Foreign Policy: Voting Behaviour in the United Nations offers a compendium of South AfricaÆs United Nations behaviour during a poignant transitional period in the countryÆs recent history. In setting out a framework for analysing the conduct of other countriesÆ voting behaviour in parallel with this study, it can be used to advance the field as a useful comparative tool. This book presents the material needed for International Relations scholars and practitioners in the field to make a reasoned and reflective assessment of this dimension of South AfricaÆs foreign policy.
