This book was released on 2020-01-08 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Economics - Macro-economics, general, grade: A, Kenyatta University, language: English, abstract: This report identifies global megatrends, which have the capacity to significantly influence the core responsibilities of South African government, such as economic prosperity, security, social cohesion, and environmental sustainability. The world is currently experiencing rapid changes in both developed and developing economies. Technology is fastening interconnectedness of people globally while also disrupting long-held assumptions regarding national boundaries. Never in the history of humankind has the information been so instantaneously accessible and communication possible regardless of one’s location on the globe. Furthermore, wealth and prosperity is now spanning many geographic boundaries and civilizations from West to East and from the Northern hemisphere to Southern. In addition, climate change has also become a major global concern in the midst of the rising frequency and magnitude of extreme weather events, such as floods and violent storms. Professor Milo Jones highlights that geopolitical issues will also have a major claim to the future of global economies. For instance, recent reports already indicate that the world is entering a post-Western era with China and India reemerging as global political and economic powers. While acknowledging these changes, it is vital that specific national governments understand these megatrends and how they might affect the country in the years to come. It is also important to note that the impact of these global trends affects countries differently while some of them like climate change is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
Book Synopsis The Wretched Youth, Power, and the Future of South Africa by : Elvis Modikela Nkoana
Download or read book The Wretched Youth, Power, and the Future of South Africa written by Elvis Modikela Nkoana and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-29 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first chapter takes the reader through my personal journey as young man growing in the dusty villages of a remote part of South Africa. The daily struggles that I had to overcome to get to where I am today, and the determination to overcome these struggles or to succumb to them. Through personal accounts of my toils I try to tell a story of most young black South Africans trying to escape harsh reality that beats most of us into submission. It is a sad but true story. The chapter explains the anger, bitterness and frustrations that have characterised the rhetoric around black empowerment through nationalisation of the commanding heights of the economy. The anger and frustrations which are negative energies can be channelled into positive actions thus converting them to positive energy. These positive actions may include shaping public opinion or influencing government or private sector policies and practices, but to do this you need power. The book explores the concept of power in a new and dynamic way. It begins by demystifying the myth about power that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It rids "power", a purely neutral word, of the negative connotations associated with it by portraying and associating it with great figures such as Jesus Christ, Mother Teresa and Nelson Mandela to mention a few. Furthermore, the book takes the reader through a journey of self-discovery by introducing concepts such as self-interest and relationships with others. Through acquiring knowledge about the true nature of one's self-interest can be a campus that guides us in our relationships with others, whether we are in public or private relationship. These win-win relationships can grow to become social movements that utilises social spaces such as social media to shape the public life (government and private-sector policies). Together, power and self-interest can be a powerful tool used for positive change, either personally or collectively. The chapter agitates the reader to consciously embark on a journey to power by building personal and professional relationships, cutting deals, ensuring win-win situation and so on.This chapter deals with the economic debate around nationalisation of the commanding heights of the economy, particularly the mining corporations. The author justifies, with valid reasons, the exclusion of the political debate on nationalisation. The chapter starts by briefly explaining the evolution of the South African economy. It continues to give account of the major corporations that played a pivotal role in the industrialisation and modernisation of the South African economy, namely; Anglo American and De Beers Corporations. By explaining the history of- and the evolution of these two giant corporations into dominant global market players, the author cautions the reader to study and thoroughly understand these two cartels' origins, affiliations, domestic and foreign influence and so on. I continue to highlight the act of necessity rather than ideology that drove the ANC to pursue a capitalist economy since 1994 and the role these two corporations played towards that push. From here, the author shall outline the economic rationale for nationalisation using both theory and practical examples. I will further sketch the various models of nationalisation including partial nationalisation, nationalisation with compensation and public private partnership (PPPs) and so forth. It is by judging the evidence and information that I shall have presented that we can arrive at a logical and informed decision regarding the issue of nationalisation in a mixed capitalist economy. My last chapter focuses on youth development, particularly personal development. It will approach youth development with two approaches namely; the internal and external approach.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the South African Economy written by Arkebe Oqubay and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-18 with total page 1120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While sharing some characteristics with other middle-income countries, South Africa is a country with a unique economic history and distinctive economic features. It is a regional economic powerhouse that plays a significant role, not only in southern Africa and in the continent, but also as a member of BRICS. However, there has been a lack of structural transformation and weak economic growth, and South Africa faces the profound triple challenges of poverty, inequality, and unemployment. Any meaningful debate about economic policies to address these challenges needs to be informed by a deep understanding of historical developments, robust empirical evidence, and rigorous analysis of South Africa's complex economic landscape. This volume seeks to provide a wide-ranging set of original, detailed, and state-of-the-art analytical perspectives that contribute to scientific knowledge as well as to well-informed and productive discourse on the South African economy. While concentrating on the more recent economic issues facing South Africa, the handbook also provides historical and political context. It offers an in-depth examination of strategic issues in the country's key economic sectors, and brings together diverse analytical perspectives.

Book Synopsis Towards Democratic Development States in Southern Africa by : Godfrey Kanyenze
Download or read book Towards Democratic Development States in Southern Africa written by Godfrey Kanyenze and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dawn of the twenty-first century heralded an apparent change of fortunes for most sub-Saharan African economies, with annual growth averaging over 5% for fifteen years. However, this was not accompanied by structural transformation: poverty, food insecurity, unemployment and inequality persist. Structural transformation has not been - and indeed cannot be - delivered by market forces and neo-liberal economic policies; it requires a state committed to development, and to achieving it in a democratic way. To what extent do the countries of Southern Africa exhibit the characteristics of such a developmental state? What steps, if any, do they need to take in order to become one? The book answers the questions with respect to South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Angola and Malawi. Godfrey Kanyenze and his colleagues have assembled a distinguished team of writers to take the temperature of the regional political economy, and chart a path for its future development.

Book Synopsis Perspectives on Volunteering by : Jacqueline Butcher
Download or read book Perspectives on Volunteering written by Jacqueline Butcher and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-10 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume overlooks the distinct expressions and awareness of volunteering in the lived reality of people from different regions of the world. By casting the net widely this book not only expands the geographic reach of experiences, models and case studies but also transcends the conventional focus on formal volunteering. It highlights institutional forms of volunteering specific to developing nations and also describes volunteering that is more loosely institutionalized, informal, and a part of solidarity and collective spirit. As a result this book provides a different look at the values, meaning, acts and expressions of volunteering. The chapters in this book consist of essays and case studies that present recent academic research, thinking and practice on volunteering. Working from the premise that volunteering is universal this collection draws on experiences from Latin America, Africa including Egypt, and Asia. This book focuses on developing countries and countries in transition in order to provide a fresh set of experiences and perspectives on volunteering. While developing countries and countries in transition are in the spotlight for this volume, the developed country experience is not ignored. Rather the essays use it as a critical reference point for comparisons, allowing points of convergence, disconnect and intersection to emerge.

Book Synopsis Critical Realism, Environmental Learning and Social-Ecological Change by : Leigh Price
Download or read book Critical Realism, Environmental Learning and Social-Ecological Change written by Leigh Price and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southern Africa, where most of these book chapters originate, has been identified as one of regions of the world most at risk of the consequences of environmental degradation and climate change. At the same time, it is still seeking ways to overcome the century long ravages of colonial and apartheid impositions of structural and epistemic violence. Research deliberations and applied research case studies in environmental education and activism from this region provide an emerging contextualized engagement that is related to a wider internationally articulated quest to achieve social-ecological justice, resilience and sustainability through educational interventions. This book introduces a decade of mainly southern African critical realist environmental education research and thinking that asks the question: "How can we facilitate learning processes that will lead to the flourishing of the Earth’s people and ecosystems in more socially just ways?" The environmental education research topics represented in this book are wide-ranging. However, they all exhibit the common theme of social justice and wanting to create change towards a better future. All the authors have used critical realist or critical realist-influenced research methodologies. Offering contributions from a small but growing community of researchers working with critical realism in the global South, this book will be of interest to students, scholars and practitioners in the areas of environmental education, sustainability, development and the philosophy of critical realism in general.

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.
