South Africa’s protest architecture
Protest Resonances across the Global South
During the first two decades of the 21st century, protest has emerged as part of a normalised repertoire of political participation employed by citizens world-over. In the Global South, protests have seen both scale and impact, centring on a range of short- and long-term grievances, and making calls for political and economic change. This article conducts a cross-regional comparative analysis of contentious action in the Global South, drawing out…
The African National Congress and Participatory Democracy
This democracy is killing us
Police reform in South Africa has been a crucial component of democratic consolidation. Yet recent research presents a contrasting set of opinions, indicating low levels of public trust in the South African Police Service (SAPS), but continued belief in their right to enforce the law, and a strong sense of isolation amongst officers themselves. As police are constitutive of the officers who populate their ranks, attention should be given to how '…
Decolonising and re-theorising the meaning of democracy
Historically and today, social movements have often been at the forefront of envisioning the content of democracy. Although democracy itself is a contested concept, in general, definitions and measures of democracy are often drawn from the canon and experiences of the global North. Contributing to the growing decolonisation movement in the social sciences, this article examines understandings of democracy in the context of post-apartheid South Af…
Popular Power and Vanguardism
The era of ‘people’s power’ in South Africa between 1986 and 1987 is often considered to have held the makings of a participatory form of democracy. Analysis of the traditions that shaped it, however, reveals a discourse of participation that was not altogether democratic. Through examination of historic documents and interviews with activists, participants and cadres, this paper examines the role for the demos imbued in people’s power. It challe…
Merging Radical and Liberal Traditions
The years between 1986 and 1990 encompass an important, yet often overlooked, period in the development of democratic thought in the African National Congress (ANC). Following the end of apartheid in 1990 and the unbanning of the liberation movement, a process commenced to negotiate a political settlement and draft a new constitution for a democratic South Africa. It was during the latter half of the 1980s, however, that the ANC began formally to…
Differential interpretations in the discourse of 'people's power
The period of 1980s people’s power in South Africa is often regarded as having held the promise of a participatory form of democracy, emerging either spontaneously from the grassroots or as a response to calls from the banned ANC. Examination of the ideas and intellectual traditions that shaped people’s power, however, suggests greater variation in its interpretation and conceptual development than existing literature suggests. Through examinatio…
The mass movement and public policy
Despite policy commitments and legislated mechanisms, the system of participatory democracy in post-1994 South Africa is largely considered to have failed. In order to understand how underlying ideas can help to explain weaknesses in practice, this article examines how participatory democracy is understood by the ruling African National Congress (ANC). It shows that the multiple intellectual traditions shaping the participatory model have led to …

The Resolution of Technically Intensive Public Policy Disputes
One of the basic problems in resolving public policy issues with high scientific or technical content is what to do when the experts disagree. How can the politicians or the public tell which experts to believe? One could argue, perhaps, that technical issues become significant in public policy disagreements only when uncertainties in the data and evidence admit of a wide range of policy outcomes or preferences. Smallpox vaccination or polio immu…

Energy and American Values
A multi-disciplinary team consisting of an engineer, a political scientist, an historian, and a professor of religion and physics view the question of energy and values from each other's perspective. The result is a synthesis of the team's views on all aspects of energy technology and how it affects human life in general as well as the lives of different classes and specific groups in our society. It begins with an historic overview of the way an…
Technology, Competition, and Employment
Technology makes possible the production of existing goods and services with fewer input resources and the creation of new products and services fulfilling hitherto unmet or unrealized social needs. The accomplishment of both of these functions is difficult to estimate quantitatively, and it is thus hard to say anything definitive about the effects of technology on employment or on the quality of jobs, especially since technology is only one amon…
