Book Synopsis South Africa and the World by : Mills Soko
Download or read book South Africa and the World written by Mills Soko and published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 20 years the global political economy has experienced its most profound shifts since the onset of the industrial revolution. In South Africa and the World, Mills Soko reflects on some of the salient issues that have pervaded public discourse during this time, analysing them within the context of the contemporary South African political economy and of the country's position in the world. Arranged thematically, the essays were all written during a defining period in recent history, a period that has witnessed, among others, the accession of China to the WTO, the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the US, the invention of the iPad, the birth of Facebook, the 2008/9 global financial crisis, Brexit and the global coronavirus pandemic which began at the end of 2019. The turbulent multipolar world demands visionary political and economic leadership, supported by institutions well attuned to contemporary conditions. Such leadership is in short supply. Nor is the existing institutional architecture sufficiently equipped to deal with a complex array of economic, social, environmental, technological and demographic challenges. Mills Soko highlights what has not worked in terms of politics, leadership, foreign policy, the economy, the African development trajectory, corporate ethics, international trade, global governance, and the thread which underlies all these issues – the importance of strong, decisive and accountable leadership. He counters his criticism with what has worked and offers views on how some of the problems that have constrained progress in South Africa and the world can be solved. A central message emerges from his writings: leadership and governance matter, whether in the national or international context. It is a message that permeates all the chapters in the book. And it goes to the heart of what South Africa has gone through over the past two decades and where it is today.
Book Synopsis The Political Economy of Regionalism in Southern Africa by : Margaret Carol Lee
Download or read book The Political Economy of Regionalism in Southern Africa written by Margaret Carol Lee and published by Juta and Company Ltd. This book was released on 2003 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the face of increasing economic globalization, the countries of southern Africa have made commitments to enhanced regional development and the integration of their economies. Margaret Lee examines the challenges to regionalism in southern Africa, providing a critical assessment of the prospects for successful implementation. Lee's detailed study of the processes driving (or inhibiting) regional integration is firmly grounded in the history of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). Her analysis of the evolution of the SADC regional economy, as well as its political, social, and economic contexts, is a major contribution to debates about the merits and pitfalls of regionalism and options for African integration.
Book Synopsis Globalization and Post-apartheid South Africa by : Abebe Zegeye

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the progress made toward greater equality in South Africa in spite of the conflicting demands made by global capital and the population of South Africa on a weakened state structure. Investigating such issues as African identities in the cultural and historical context of globalization, growth and redistribution in South Africa, the social reintegration of demobilized military personnel, policing in the post-apartheid era, the poverty-environment relationship, and reproductive dynamics and gender-based violence, this engaging volume provides interdisciplinary scholars and students with varied perspectives on the effects of globalization in post-apartheid South Africa. Each chapter offers original research and theory.
Book Synopsis Geography and Economy in South Africa and its Neighbours by : Christian M. Rogerson
Download or read book Geography and Economy in South Africa and its Neighbours written by Christian M. Rogerson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dismantling of the apartheid regime in South Africa caused massive transformation in both geographical and economic terms, not only in this country but also in the region as a whole. As the post-apartheid government enters its second term, this captivating volume assesses its progress in unravelling the geography of apartheid, both in South Africa itself and in its relationships with other countries in Southern Africa and Africa. It also considers the ways in which South Africa, now that it is no longer a pariah state, has begun to position itself within the current global economy. Examining South Africa’s land and agriculture, mining and minerals, manufacturing, tourism, corporate finance, the labour market and transport, the volume discusses the challenges of balancing growth and redistribution, the extent and nature of progress, change and relationships within the regional and global economy. A compelling investigation into the economics of South Africa's neighbouring states in relation to their natural resources, colonialism and inter-relationships with themselves and with South Africa leads to a focus on the region as a whole and its relations with the global economy.

Book Synopsis Africa and the New Globalization by : George Klay Kieh
Download or read book Africa and the New Globalization written by George Klay Kieh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization is not a new phenomenon in the international system. However, the various phases of globalization have had divergent scopes, actors, dimensions and dynamics - that is, each of the phases of globalization can be differentiated according to these terms. Against this background, this book focuses on the 'new globalization', a phase that emerged when the Cold War ended and which is, significantly, the most expansive and technologically advanced of all the phases of globalization. The contributors identify and discuss many of the frontier issues in Africa that are being impacted by the dynamics of this new globalization - debt, human rights, development, state sovereignty, the environment, and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The volume will hold particular interest for students, scholars and researchers of African and development politics.

Book Synopsis Globalization and the Cultures of Business in Africa by : Scott D. Taylor
Download or read book Globalization and the Cultures of Business in Africa written by Scott D. Taylor and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2012-09-05 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can Africa develop businesses beyond the extractive or agricultural sectors? What would it take for Africa to play a major role in global business? By focusing on recent changes, Scott D. Taylor demonstrates how Africa's business culture is marked by an unprecedented receptivity to private enterprise. Challenging persistent stereotypes about crony capitalism and the lack of development, Taylor reveals a long and dynamic history of business in Africa. He shows how a hospitable climate for business has been spurred by institutional change, globalization, and political and economic reform. Taylor encourages a broader understanding of the mosaic of African business and the diversity of influences and cultures that shape it.
Book Synopsis Southern Africa in World Politics by : Janice Love
Download or read book Southern Africa in World Politics written by Janice Love and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These days, politics often seem to be local and global simultaneously, challenging people, politicians, and scholars to sort out what is domestic from what is international and how the two are related. Janice Love demonstrates the complex realities of how local and global politics are intimately interwoven, sometimes inextricably so, specifically in southern Africa. In southern Africa, like many other regions, such linkages have existed for decades, if not centuries. Yet the current era is different from previous times when human communities found themselves closely intertwined. Love examines military, political, and economic changes in recent decades. Students of international relations, comparative politics, and African studies will find the region's experience instructive in understanding larger trends in the world. Students particularly interested in Africa will gain insight not only about this region, but also its significance for the whole continent. Deliberately crosses the boundaries of domestic politics and foreign policy as well as comparative politics and international relations. By taking a globalization approach, connecting the local, regional and global, the book offers fresh insights into the dynamics of war and peace, wealth and poverty as well as local to global governance in southern Africa. Examines globalization in three arenas or domains (military, political, and economic), not only distinguishing them from each other, but also probing what has changed and what has remained the same across time.
Book Synopsis South Africa and the World Economy in the 1990s by : Pauline H. Baker

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Furthermore, what role can international trade and investment play in spurring economic growth in South Africa, alleviating the country's poverty and promoting a more equitable distribution of wealth? These are some of the questions that came under the spotlight at an international conference organised in 1993 by The Aspen Institute and IDASA (The Institute for a Democratic Alternative for South Africa). At this conference, held in South Africa, a number of leading economists and policy advisers from the United States, Asia, Latin America and Africa met to stimulate discussion about a range of critical issues facing the South African economy in the years ahead.
Book Synopsis Governance in the New South Africa by : Guy C. Z. Mhone
Download or read book Governance in the New South Africa written by Guy C. Z. Mhone and published by Juta and Company Ltd. This book was released on 2003 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major challenges confronting South Africa since the advent of non-racial multiparty democracy have been the need to promote democratic governance, economic growth, global competitiveness, and to improve the standard of living of its people, especially the previously disadvantaged majority Black population. These challenges have coincided with the ascendancy of globalisation with its attendant social, economic and political imperatives, all of which have consequences for governance and development at the national level, not least in emerging economies like South Africa. This important book assesses the implications of global imperatives for the nature, capacity, character and scope of democratic governance and the pursuit of equitable development in the new South Africa. A major conclusion is that the implementation of domestic economic reforms predicated on market fundamentalism, with its dominant logic and paradigm of globalisation and economic management, is incompatible and irreconcilable with the quest for democratic governance and equitable development. The contributors contend that such an approach reproduces a substantively undemocratic and inequitable society. "Governance in the New South Africa" concludes by offering some considerations related to how substantive democracy and equitable development may be promoted in South Africa on the basis of democratic governance and developmentalism.
