Abstract: | Conclusion Former Secretary of State Kissinger’s policies towards and maneuvers in southern Africa must be examined within the context
of America’s global strategy and imperialist objectives. As in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America, the United
States aims at giving South Africa sufficient support so that she can play a policing role in southern Africa, if not in sub-Sahara
Africa as a whole. This is what the Nixon-Kissinger Doctrine called for. It argued that the Western countries must now establish
a decentralized, global system of defense.
