tailieunhanh - An Encumbered Regional Power

The main focus of this publication is the link between South Africa’s grand pan-African ambitions, especially in the area of peace, security and governance, and its own capacity to pursue these objectives. Specifically, the paper examines Pretoria’s involvement in Africa, and internal capacity to support its mediation, peacekeeping and strengthening the abilities of African institutions for peacemaking. Further, it examines the challenges posed by tension between its pan-African and economic interests as well as power rivalry at the continental level, which have greatly limited its ability. | An encumbered regional power The capacity gap in South Africa s peace diplomacy in Africa Free download from Dr Peter Kagwanja Free download from Democracy and Governance Research Programme Occasional Paper 6 Series Editor Dr Kwandiwe Kondlo Executive Director Democracy and Governance Research Programme Human Sciences Research Council Published by HSRC Press Private Bag X9182 Cape Town 8000 South Africa www.
