Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about constitutional development in South Africa. South Africa has been entangled in a prolonged political and constitutional impasse for the greater part of the twentieth century. Since the establishment of the Union of South Africa in 1910, political forces in the black and white communities have been at loggerheads. A political culture of divide-and-rule versus liberation became entrenched in the South African political approach. The hostility and antagonism towards political matters which resulted from these conflicting attitudes will take years and even decades to rectify.

Book Synopsis Sustainable Development for a Democratic South Africa by : Ken Cole
Download or read book Sustainable Development for a Democratic South Africa written by Ken Cole and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the multi racial elections in April 1994, South Africa has been set on a new course. For a country emerging from 45 years of apartheid democracy should prove to be the vital first step on the path to sustainability and equitability. There are sure to be pitfalls along the way but the potential offered by long-awaited equality is enormous, and realising that potential is the key to the country's chances of achieving sustainable development. This book analyses the changes which are needed and which might result from the new political culture. It discusses the policy requirements necessary for sustainable development and looks at how the economy, regional integration, land reform, the law, local government, NGOs, health care and AIDs prevention, education, and the media will all be affected, drawing on the experience of other countries in Africa which have witnessed the transition to black majority rule. Accessible to general readers as well as to specialists, it provides a comprehensive overview of the issues involved, and a basis for understanding what prospects the future holds for South Africa.

Book Synopsis Democracy by : Jacobus Johannes Nicolaas Cloete
Download or read book Democracy written by Jacobus Johannes Nicolaas Cloete and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will South Africa develop into a democratic state? In 1993 there was no clear reply to this question. In fact, the prospects for a successful transition form the established regime to a democratic dispensation appeared to be bleak. One of the principal factors militating against the democratisation of South seemed to be the widespread ignorance about the concept of democracy. This book is intended to serve as a straightfoward introduction to democracy for all South Africans. Such a wide readership is aimed at because democratisation will succeed only if every citizen of South Africa makes a contribution. Democracy deals with the factors which promote or militate against democratisation; the institutions and practices for a democratic state, and concludes with an account of the prospects of democracy of South Africa. --Back cover.

Book Synopsis The Feasibility of the Democratic Developmental State in the South by : Daniel A. Omoweh
Download or read book The Feasibility of the Democratic Developmental State in the South written by Daniel A. Omoweh and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2012 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines the prospects of a democratic developmental state in Latin American, African and Asian countries, collectively referred to in this work as the global South. Practically, the state refers to the political leadership. Within this context, it interrogates the politics of the state and the unresolved critical issues it has engendered in the state-development discourse such as the need to re-conceptualize the developmental state, democratization, elections, inclusion, indigenous entrepreneurial and business class, political parties and cooperation among the countries of the South. It looks into the need to re-centre the sought state in the development process of the Southern countries after over two and a half decades of embracing neo-liberal policies and economic reforms that, rather than transform, sank the adjusted economies into deeper political, social and economic crises. It contends that the capacity of the state to overcome the market and democratic deficits resides with its democratic credentials. Finally, it suggests strategies that could lead to the rise of a democratic developmental state in the South.

Book Synopsis Democratising Development by : Peris Jones
Download or read book Democratising Development written by Peris Jones and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the prospects and means of achieving development through a democratic politics of socio-economic rights? Starting from the position that socio-economic rights are as legally and normatively valid as civil and political rights, this anthology explores the politics of acquiring and transforming socio-economic rights in South Africa. The post-apartheid South African experience shows that democracy is not a guarantee for elimination of poverty and inequality, but also that democratic institutions and politics may provide means for addressing past and present injustices. Thus it is argued that democratic politics of socio-economic rights democratises development while also developing democracy.

Book Synopsis The Climate Crisis by : Vishwas Satgar
Download or read book The Climate Crisis written by Vishwas Satgar and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2018-02-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays that address the question: how can people and class agency change this destructive course of history? Capitalism’s addiction to fossil fuels is heating our planet at a pace and scale never before experienced. Extreme weather patterns, rising sea levels and accelerating feedback loops are a commonplace feature of our lives. The number of environmental refugees is increasing and several island states and low-lying countries are becoming vulnerable. Corporate-induced climate change has set us on an ecocidal path of species extinction. Governments and their international platforms such as the Paris Climate Agreement deliver too little, too late. Most states, including South Africa, continue on their carbon-intensive energy paths, with devastating results. Political leaders across the world are failing to provide systemic solutions to the climate crisis. This is the context in which we must ask ourselves: how can people and class agency change this destructive course of history? Volume three in the Democratic Marxism series, The Climate Crisis investigates eco-socialist alternatives that are emerging. It presents the thinking of leading climate justice activists, campaigners and social movements advancing systemic alternatives and developing bottom-up, just transitions to sustain life. Through a combination of theoretical and empirical work, the authors collectively examine the challenges and opportunities inherent in the current moment. This volume builds on the class-struggle focus of Volume 2 by placing ecological issues at the centre of democratic Marxism. Most importantly, it explores ways to renew historical socialism with democratic, eco-socialist alternatives to meet current challenges in South Africa and the world.
Book Synopsis Leaders for a new Africa by : AA.VV.
Download or read book Leaders for a new Africa written by AA.VV. and published by Ledizioni. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political leadership can be a crucial ingredient for the development of sub-Saharan Africa. The region has been going through important transformations, with both political landscapes and economic trajectories becoming increasingly diverse. The changes underway include the role of leadership and its broader impact. This volume argues that, on the whole, African leaders and the way they reach power generally do contribute to shaping their countries’ progresses and achievements. It also zooms in on some influential African leaders who recently emerged in key states across the continent, illustrating and explaining the individual paths that brought them to power while reflecting on the prospects for their governments’ actions. Far from the simplistic stereotypes of immovable, ineffective and greedy rulers, the resulting picture reveals dynamic and rapidly evolving political scenarios with key implications for development in the region.
