Abstract
During the four decades of apartheid era, the South Africa was in conflicts with its neighboring countries and other members of the world society, which resulted in international isolation. The pressure on the apartheid regime was increased, therefore the regime had to change its policy and negotiate with the opposition groups. Consequently the change of agents (de klerk, Mandela) paved the way for the complete elimination of the apartheid. The new regime after apartheid adopted a policy of "respect to human right, justice and equality" and therefore improved its relations with neighboring countries and international society. Thus new policy brought security, cooperation and development to the region.
