Abstract

After the abolition of apartheid in 1994, South Africa actively participated in global governance and began to play an increasingly important role in the international community. The paper analyzes South Africa's peace diplomacy in the post-apartheid era through a case study approach. South Africa, as a middle power, has adopted the strategy of “niche diplomacy” and has chosen the area of peace diplomacy as the focus of development. Specifically, this article examines the competence base of South Africa's development of peace diplomacy, reviews the development of South Africa's peace diplomacy practice, and analyzes the need for South Africa to develop peace diplomacy. The paper concludes that South Africa aims to use the international influence gained by South Africa through peace diplomacy to spread to other diplomatic fields, thus enhancing South Africa's national image in general, gaining a voice in more international issues, and thus better promoting its national interests.
