• W166996858 abstract "This book is a study of the dilemmas and paradoxes of United States policy towards two former southern African colonies of Portugal-Angola and Mozambique-which have been among the targets of South Africa's activist destabilizing politics. Determined to maintain hegemony in southern Africa, the white minority government of South Africa, over the years since Angola and Mozambique obtained independence, has relentlessly attempted to install proxy governments there, often with the connivance of administrations in power in the United States. Part of the legacy of decolonization in southern Africa, therefore, is the importance the two former Portuguese colonies assumed for U.S. foreign policy. The Reagan administration consistently portrayed itself as playing the role of an honest broker in mediating conflicts between the two countries and their more powerful neighbor. But it clearly played a partisan role, dictated by its strategic concerns and global rivalry with the Soviet Union. In part this U.S. policy is a function of American dislike of the Marxist orientation of the two former Portuguese colonies and their ties with the Soviet bloc. Yet the U.S. has developed reasonably warm relations with Mozambique, but supports a rebel movement menacing the government of Angola, with which it has never established diplomatic relations. Eight contributors to the volume provide perceptive background information and analysis essential to understanding the issues and problems of the three selected southern African countries as well as U.S. policy towards the region. In chapters 1 and 2, two contributors, Kenneth Maxwell and Carlos Caspar, identify the internationalization of the decolonization process in Portuguese Africa as the cause of U. S. policy dilemmas in Angola and Mozambique. They trace this internationalization, among other causes, to internal rivalries between and within the nationalist movements, particularly in Angola, and the inability of the Portuguese to provide a consistent and effective control of internal security and a counterweight to outside intervention. The power vacuum which resulted from internal Portuguese divisions and Portugals inability to maintain a grip on the decolonization process, Gaspar argues, 'sucked outside powers into the Angolan civil war (p. 40). Maxwell notes that the U.S. was trapped into the Angolan crisis by the Zaire connection (p. 27), as it reacted to 'direct ard serious measures the Soviet Union was taking to counteract attempts by Zaire to deny the MPLA fruits of victory in Angola. Maxwell offers a questionable interpretation of U.S. involvement in Angola when he asserts that the John F. Kennedy administration's 1960 decision to provide covert aid to Holden Roberto (FNLA) was a bold measure against one of America's NATO allies (p. 12). The Kennedy decision was dictated by a negative reason, to provide a" @default.
