Journal Title: International Journal of Current Science Research and Review - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 07
Abstract
This comprehensive review of Tanzania’s foreign policy since 2001 provides a nuanced examination of the country’s shift towards economic diplomacy, with a specific focus on the factors that contributed to this transformation. The article delves into the underlying reasons behind the initiation of this new foreign policy approach in 2001, despite its official launch occurring in 2004, and explores the complex interplay of global shifts, domestic transitions, and local institutional factors that drove Tanzania’s changing international relations in the early 2000s. A thorough analysis of primary and secondary scholarly sources reveals the strategic calculations, external pressures, and policy debates that motivated Tanzania’s post-Cold War foreign policy realignment and its timing. The article traces the intellectual and political influences on President Mkapa and his advisors that shaped the framing of economic cooperation as Tanzania’s new diplomatic priority, highlighting the key imperatives of regime stability, regional integration, and engaging emerging powers amidst declining terms of trade that prompted Tanzania’s foreign policy shift. The new vision, which blended liberalization with Tanzania’s historical principles, sought to balance change and continuity by redefining the country’s diplomatic priorities. This study concludes that systemic global factors, coupled with domestic restructuring, precipitated Tanzania’s earlier-than-conventionally-understood adoption of economic diplomacy, underscoring the complexity of international relations and the need for a nuanced understanding of the factors that shape them.
