The foreign factor in South Africa's 1992 referendum

Pages 45-63 | Published online: 25 Feb 2007
 

ABSTRACT

South Africa has for decades been subjected to various types of international involvement in its domestic affairs, the object being to persuade or coerce Pretoria to abandon apartheid.

The changing nature of external engagement in South Africa raises important conceptual questions. Can the conventional understanding of intervention, for instance, adequately explain the South African case?
