ABSTRACT
Why did the apartheid’s endgame favor the African
National Congress (ANC) over other contenders? This article advances a path
dependence argument, hypothesizing Mandela’s 1962 trip across Africa as a “critical juncture”
whose arc of counter-intuitive developments narrowed the ruling National Party’s bargaining options
down to its worst enemy—Mandela’s ANC.
KEYWORDS
African National Congress (ANC), apartheid, Dar-es-Salaam, liberation, Mandela, Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), National Party (NP), Nyerere, Pan-African
