全球化正在改变国际关系中权威的性质，因为霸权被涉及更多不同行为体的地缘治理所取代。然而，私人对市场和资源的权威仍然经常通过国家来构建和折射。关于中国和印度在撒哈拉以南非洲（SSA）的作用日益上升，这方面已经写了很多，但南非仍然是一个非常重要的区域政治和经济参与者。在其区域领导力的推动下，它最近还加入了金砖四国（巴西，俄罗斯，印度，中国）合作机制，反映了其日益增长的国际影响力和全球治理的转型性质。本文通过对“南非”地缘治理及其在撒哈拉以南非洲地区的影响的探讨，来思考南非国家权力的性质、构成及其国际影响。报告最后对南非案例如何影响国际关系和发展理论进行了一些思考。
Globalisation is transforming the nature of authority in international relations, as hegemony is replaced by geo-governance, involving a more varied set of actors. However, private authority over markets and resources is still often constituted and refracted through states. Much has been written in this respect about China and India's rising role in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), but South Africa remains a highly significant regional political and economic player. Facilitated through its regional leadership, it has also recently acceded to the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) cooperation mechanism, reflecting its growing international influence and the transforming nature of global governance. This article explores 'South African' geo-governance and its impacts in SSA to consider the nature and construction of South African state power, and its international influence. It concludes with some reflections on the way the South African case informs international relations and development theory.
