Coping with Change: United States Policy Toward South Africa,

Abstract

This monograph develops the considerations toward policy for South Africa. This policy is proposed for the period following resolution of Namibia's independence. It is not designed to be bluntly confrontational, but does seek to articulate and serve a range of US interests, both foreign and domestic. Recommendations that can lead to insulation for the United States against strategic material denial are proposed, as are others designed to cope with the changes generated primarily within South Africa. Major proposals include the following: Complete the US critical minerals stockpiling process; Encourage other Western nations to stockpile strategic minerals; Tighten controls on US exports to South Africa; Stop the exchange of nuclear technology with South Africa; Promote nonexpansion of US business in South Africa; Support the South Africa Development Coordination Conference; Expand contacts with black South African leaders; Expand human rights actions; and Support universal voluntary adoption of the Sullivan Principles by US business.
