| Summary/Abstract |
It becomes clear when analyzing American and South African foreign policy that both countries aim to promote and achieve stability throughout the African continent. Often a necessary component to reach this stability is a military presence to help restore peace during and after conflicts. Therefore, positive military cooperation between both countries would appear to be a simple equation where both would immediately agree. However, this has often not been the case. This paper analyzes this defense relationship from when the ANC-led South African government took power in 1994 until the present day Obama and Zuma administrations. It argues that despite numerous related disagreements throughout the Mandela and Mbeki years, the US-South African defense relationship has expanded. Moreover, this paper concludes that this expansion has escalated since former South African president Thabo Mbeki left office in late 2008. It is not only in America's and South Africa's best interest to see this cooperation expand even further, but in Africa's interest as well.

| Summary/Abstract |
In the years since the end of apartheid, South Africa has emerged from its status as an international pariah to a full fledged member of the international community. Riding a wave of new found legitimacy bolstered by a heroic myth surrounding President Mandela, South Africa began to rethink its role in the world. Perhaps more than Mandela, however, former President Thabo Mbeki laid claim to the title of Africa's spokesman to the world. Mbeki, through his African Renaissance, cast himself as the embodiment of the modern, postcolonial African blending African tradition and symbolism with the rhetoric of free markets and good governance. What this paper argues is that Mbeki's Renaissance highlights both what constitutes legitimate policies and behavior and the role of legitimacy and legitimation itself in international relations.
