Foreign Policy Research Institute A Nation Must Think Before it Acts The Future of South Africa

The Future of South Africa

| Africa Program

About the Event

South Africa has long been one of - if not the - most important geopolitical players on the African Continent. But recent domestic political upheaval in the country has made its position much less stable. Will this instability affect South Africa's influence on the African continent or change its relationship with the U.S. and the E.U.? Join FPRI's Africa Program and the African Center for the Study of the United States at the University of the Witwatersrand for a discussion on South Africa's future, the potential continental and global impact of the political turmoil in the country, and its place on the continent.
