内容説明

The analysis of Crocker's policy in southern Africa has an important relevance to the foreign policy dilemmas of today. Abuse of human rights makes disenfranchised groups vulnerable to terrorist recruitment. This analysis questions whether constructive engagement can provide a bridge between the pursuit of national interest and concern for human rights.

内容説明

Offers a critical evaluation of the Reagan administration's policy towards South Africa. The notion of engagement underlies the history of diplomacy, and as such represents the most important tool in a foreign policy practitioner's armoury. Today, improved communications are allowing citizens of democratic nations tosee the real nature of the states with which their governments engage, including those with dire records concerning the human rights of their own citizens. The idea of 'constructive engagement' is forwarded by governments as a method whereby pressure can be brought to bear on these countries to improve their record on human rights, while diplomatic and economic contacts can be maintained. But does this approach achieve positive outcomes? To-answer this question, this book offers a critical evaluation of one of the best known examples of constructive engagement - the Reagan administration's policy towards South Africa. North America: Ohio U Press; South Africa: Jacana
