This book provides readers with the first comprehensive study of South Africa''s foreign policy conducted in a multilateral setting, by placing on record over 1000 of South Africa''s votes at the United Nations over a 20 year period. The study investigates consistency in terms of South Africa''s declared foreign policy and its actual voting practices at the United Nations.
Democratic South Africa''s Foreign Policy: Voting Behaviour in the United Nationsoffers a compendium of South Africa''s United Nations behaviour during a poignant transitional period in the country''s recent history. In setting out a framework for analysing the conduct of other countries'' 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 Africa''s foreign policy.
