Namibia’s Foreign Relations

by Dr. Dr. Anton Bösl, André du Pisani, Dennis Zaire

Historic contexts, current dimensions, and perspectives for the 21st Century

Namibia’s foreign relations and their prudent formulation and management determine the sustainability of the country and the economic perspectives of its people. This publication and its chapters therefore discuss Namibia’s main bilateral and multilateral relationships, the historic and normative foundations of those bonds, their strategic objectives and interests, and their interface with other policy fields.
