The book examines the complexities of South Africa's post-apartheid foreign policy, highlighting the tensions between the African National Congress's alignment with neo-liberalism and its leftist constituency. It explores how the policy-making elite navigates dual audiences, balancing domestic interests with the demands of international capital. This dynamic reflects South Africa's evolving role in the global political economy as a middle power, serving as a bridge between dominant global forces and those hesitant to conform.
