Strategic Statecraft and Its Implications for Regional and International Relations: An Analysis of Zimbabwe's Foreign Policy Under the Second Republic
Abstract: This research critically analyses the transformative trajectories of Zimbabwe's foreign policy under the Second Republic, particularly focusing on the Government of Zimbabwe's (GoZ) strategic regional and international engagements within a rapidly evolving international system. By analysing the intricacies of Zimbabwe's diplomatic interactions, the research aims at providing a comprehensive understanding of how the country, informed by its unique historical, political and economic background, can potentially enhance its position in regional and international affairs. Furthermore, the research aims at assessing the implications of GoZ's foreign policy on Zimbabwe's sovereignty, economic development, and global standing. In addition, it explores the challenges and opportunities encountered as the country seeks a more integrated and influential role in regional and international relations. Special thought is given to the country’s assumption of the Chairmanship of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and GoZ’s engagement with ongoing global issues, such as the protracted security situation in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and conflicts like those between Israel-Hamas and Russia-Ukraine. The research is particularly important to the broader discourse on the dynamics of strategic foreign policy in developing countries, offering insights into the complexities of diplomatic manoeuvring in an increasingly multipolar system.
