Overview
The South African Foreign Policy Review, supported by the IGD, is a biennial analysis of South Africa’s conduct internationally. The Review fills a gap in the continuity of analysis on South African foreign policy, providing an important resource in tracing trends and developments. If the country is to maintain and grow its role in the region and international affairs more broadly, the public, scholars and practitioners need to be able to take stock of how the country has conducted itself internationally so far, and how it could improve on a number of fronts including areas such as regional leadership, balancing principles and practice, and supporting diplomatic practice.
The book series provides consideration of the ideas, architecture, and practice of foreign policy through exploring conceptual frameworks, reviewing diplomacy in practice, and reviewing South Africa’s foreign policy implementation in its engagement with the world. It brings together not only analysis of the ideas and principles, but their application in practice. These volumes invite the reader to assess areas where South Africa is expanding its reach, or in some cases finding resources increasingly restrained to encourage dialogue and engagement in support of South Africa's foreign policy principles and practice.
