The Experience of Economic Redistribution

  • Type: Book

  • Publisher: Routledge

This book provides an analysis of the country's political economy in transition. It documents the history of the gold mining industry's involvement in shaping the political landscape of South Africa, and shows the degree to which the political transition was induced to put in place a new mode of regulation for capital accumulation. In the process, the victims of apartheid have now become victims of democracy's neo-liberalism as the government is constrained from being developmental, interventionist and redistributive.

Cities of Gold, Townships of Coal

After apartheid was dismantled, South Africa's townships anticipated a peace and development dividend. But as the ANC begins its second term in office (1999-2004), the cities have degenerated further into impoverished, polluted, under-serviced, zones of blight and despair. Indeed, in many respects, the townships were worse off than when the ANC took power. In this collection of essays, the author argues that the ANC's adoption of free-market economic and social policies is at the root of these problems and can be blamed for S Africa's uneven urban development.

In this book, Dr Greg Mills, Director of the South African Institute of International Affairs, provides fascinating insights into the challenges facing African states in general, and South Africa and its foreign policy in particular. He assesses South African foreign policy during the years of transition from apartheid to democracy (1990-94), and during the 'honeymoon years' of international courtship (1994-99). He also analyses future options incisively. As one of the few books on foreign policy in a society that has undergone significant socio-political transition, this book should interest not only an academic audience looking for a basis for comparative study, but all those who care about South Africa and its place in the world.

Learning to Live Together

With a view to deepening our understanding of sources of hatred and prejudice, this book uses a developmental and evolutionary perspective to explore and explain the process by which our beliefs are conveyed to the youngest members of society. Discussing the psychological obstacles to peaceful relations between groups, the authors focus on the developmental processes by which we can work to diminish ethnocentrism, prejudice, and hatred, which children learn from a very early age. Until now, scholarship and practice in international relations have gravely neglected crucial psychological aspects of these terrible problems and have not yet explored the educational opportunities related to them. Addressing these promising lines of inquiry and innovation, this book fosters a more humane and less violent development in childhood and adolescence. Educators, religious leaders, developmental and social psychologists, will find this a valuable resource, as will a socially concerned segment of the public who are looking for practical ways to work for peace.
