ABSTRACT
From the standpoint o f Western security interests, South Africa is rapidly becoming a major problem. The white minority government is under mounting world pressure to make fundamental changes in its social and political system. The industrial democracies, which are the only countries with substantial economic leverage over South Africa, have also come under increasing pressure, both from AfroAsian states and from limited but growing constituencies at home, to start exercising that leverage, even though it would have adverse effects on Western business, trade and investment.
