The post-apartheid economy
South Africa's post-apartheid economy has been characterised by low growth and investment, and a rise in unemployment (at 30%, higher than any other middle income country). Government economic policy has stressed the encouragement of investment through deregulation, privatisation and fiscal restraint. However, the failure of this strategy to promote growth and create jobs points to the need for a more interventionist strategy, one in which govern…
Legal Drafting and the Defeat of Development Policy: The Experience of Anglophonic Southern Africa
In the early 1960's, when the winds of change began to blow freedom into southern Africa, the causes of Africa's poverty seemed obvious. Since the turn of the century, colonial regimes had systematically disinherited and disenfranchised the black majority. As a result, while the region enjoyed a wealth of natural resources and, in a number of areas, developed industries and infrastructure, the majority of the population lived at the edge of subsi…
Development Economics and Perspectives on the South African Economy
As a rule, in the Third World, social scientists and governments present their economic strategies in terms of national ends—typically, in the 1980's, as some variant of a supply-side, basic-needs or socialist approach. Similarly, in South Africa, the debate on policies to transform the economy away from apartheid often focused on the feasibility and desirability of different social systems. Yet each strategy originally arose out of a particular …

Zambia has faced an economic crisis since 1975. Living standards for most of the population have deteriorated sharply, with falling real wages and a drop in G.D.P. per capita by about a quarter. At the same time, the gap between the high- and low-income groups has probably widened. Zambia's economic difficulties originated in international factors. In the two decades of independence, and unusually high degree of external dependency, inherited fro…
U.S. Transnational Corporate Investment in Strategic Sectors of the South African Military‐Industrial Complex
Transnational firms from all the core capitalist countries after World War II played a crucial role in transforming South Africa's mineral-based economy into a modern, industrial, increasingly militarized state
Outposts of Monopoly Capitalism: Southern Africa in the World Economy
Finance and Development: The Case of Botswana
It is still frequently asserted that the economic sluggishness plaguing most Third-World countries stems from a general lack of resources. The scarcity of capital in both the public and private sectors, it is claimed, prevents the investment needed to achieve development. On the other hand, a fewdeveloping countries with highly profitable exports - notably those that export oil - reap large financial surpluses, including foreign exchange, but do …
