analysis: The text appears to be focused on the economic and labor aspects of the relationship between international organizations, governments, and corporations in relation to South Africa. The emphasis on isolating the South African government, increasing pressure on transnational corporations, and promoting collective bargaining rights for independent black trade unions suggests that the text is primarily concerned with economic and labor issues.
