Part I: RW Johnson – Adrift in the world. Strange evolution of SA’s foreign policy.
RW Johnson writes on the multiple phases of South Africa's foreign policy and international relations - a strange post-1994 evolution.
By RW Johnson
South Africa's foreign policy has gone through multiple phases. Even the ANC period has seen little continuity.
SA's international standing peaked in 1945. It had been a key member of the Allies – the United Nations as FDR and Churchill referred to them – and this meant that SA was a founder-member of the UN. Smuts was a major world figure who had worked with Churchill, FDR, De Gaulle and Eisenhower.
