AMERICA AND SOUTH AFRICA

Louis Rene Beres

Review of Policy Research, 1986, vol. 6, issue 2, 203-211

Abstract: The Reagan policy of constructive engagement was not really mean to succeed; it was meant to make apartheid palatable. Convinced that the contest between the United States and the Soviet Union overrides all other considerations of international relations, the Reagan administration has always been prepared to tolerate apartheid as the “lesser evil,” and when apartheid is overthrown, this country may be in an active insurgency against the new regime. These policies are contrary to the American political tradition and the rules of international law.
