We live in a dynamic and complex world that has an array of institutions, rules and contradictions that can be very difficult to understand. It is a world in which old notions of ideology and rivalry are inadequate to explain what really goes on in the world and, therefore, how South Africa should interact with it.
Is the United States an enemy or friend of South Africa? The same question applies to China, Russia, the United Kingdom and so on. Is Russia still an ideological ally of South Africa such as it was an ally of the liberation movement in the 1980s? Why are the US and China so very important to one another?
