Résumé anglais Since the beginning of the 1970's, the South African regime has been undertaking a major shift, as far as its power structure is concerned. The decision-making process is presently in the hands of a few top civil servants, businessmen and politicians, amongst whom high-ranking soldiers have a leading role. The South African policy-making process is thus embodied into an integrated militaristic organization, gathered around the State President. Convinced that it was the main target of a communist inspired «total onslaught», the regime has been able to build up an impressive war machine (on Africa's scale) supported by an integrated industrial and commercial structure and a mobilized white population.
