Series

The South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA) is an independent, nongovernmental think-tank which aims to promote a wider and more informed understanding of international issues among South Africans. It seeks also to educate, inform and facilitate contact between people concerned with South Africa's place in the world, and to contribute to the public debate on foreign policy. SAIIA Policy Briefings are intended for use by policymakers, whether in government or business. They are concise, providing a brief analysis of the issue at hand, and make policy recommendations. Included among these are various historical briefings produced by SAIIA, including China in Africa Policy Briefs and Trade Policy Briefings.
