The Nixon administration believed that Washington needed to prioritise the protection of its own strategic and commercial interests and not become overly concerned about the domestic agenda of its global partners. The vehement anti-communism of the National Party government combined with a profitable economic relationship and the abundant mineral resources of the apartheid state dictated a need on practical grounds for closer ties with South Africa. This stance was further reinforced by Nixon’s contempt for sub-Saharan Africans and lack of interest in achieving racial justice.KEYWORDS: Richard NixonUS foreign policyUS historySouth AfricaCold Wareconomic historyrace relations Notes1 Richard Nixon Library (hereafter NL), NSC Institutional ‘H’ Files, Box H-026, NSSM-39, Memo from Kissinger to Rogers et al., 10 April 1969; NL, NSC Institutional (‘H’) Files, Box H-144, NSSM-39, 15 August 1969; NL, NSC Institutional (‘H’) Files, Box H-145, NSSM-39, Memo from Kissinger to Vice President et al., 28 January 1970; E.

Abstract

ABSTRACTThis article explores the pragmatic stance that the United States adopted, during the Nixon era, regarding relations with Pretoria. The Nixon administration believed that Washington needed to prioritise the protection of its own strategic and commercial interests and not become overly concerned about the domestic agenda of its global partners. The vehement anti-communism of the National Party government combined with a profitable economic relationship and the abundant mineral resources of the apartheid state dictated a need on practical grounds for closer ties with South Africa. This stance was further reinforced by Nixon’s contempt for sub-Saharan Africans and lack of interest in achieving racial justice.KEYWORDS: Richard NixonUS foreign policyUS historySouth AfricaCold Wareconomic historyrace relations Notes1 Richard Nixon Library (hereafter NL), NSC Institutional ‘H’ Files, Box H-026, NSSM-39, Memo from Kissinger to Rogers et al., 10 April 1969; NL, NSC Institutional (‘H’) Files, Box H-144, NSSM-39, 15 August 1969; NL, NSC Institutional (‘H’) Files, Box H-145, NSSM-39, Memo from Kissinger to Vice President et al., 28 January 1970; E.

期刊介绍： Over the past 40 years, the South African Historical Journal has become renowned and internationally regarded as a premier history journal published in South Africa, promoting significant historical scholarship on the country as well as the southern African region. The journal, which is linked to the Southern African Historical Society, has provided a high-quality medium for original thinking about South African history and has thus shaped - and continues to contribute towards defining - the historiography of the region.
