| Abstract: | This paper is concerned with the ease of uranium as a strategic mineral of growing importance in the political economy of the United States and Southern Africa and, therefore, a possible determinant in the interdependence of the two countries and the foreign policy of the United States toward the region. A brief discussion of the theoretical approach to this subject is followed by a discussion of United States-South African uranium interdependency utilizing variables provided by Steven Krasner, whose convenient model posits that the convergence of policy on raw materials between the state and the firm takes place around three major variables - security of supply, stability of price, and national security.
