A force for good? Markets, cellars and labour in the South African wine industry after apartheid
This paper argues that on balance, deregulation and the exposure to overseas markets has been beneficial to the South African wine industry, resulting in strong growth, increased employment and much improved international competitiveness. However, the paper also draws attention to the fact that not everybody has benefited in equal measure from the process of upgrading, modernisation and internationalisation. Since the start of the transition in t…
Which Way is “Up” in Upgrading? Trajectories of Change in the Value Chain for South African Wine
A Deepening Divide in the Countryside
The article reviews research on change in the South African wine industry, and links the sociology of farming styles and paternalism in Western Cape farm labour relations to work on globalisation and international agro-food restructuring. It argues that livelihoods on wine farms in the Western Cape have been shaped by a ‘triple transition’ involving local industry deregulation, international agro-food integration and the politics of democratisati…
What difference can they make? Assessing the social impact of corporate codes of practice
As retailers in the North increasingly adopt codes of practice containing social and/or environmental provisions in global supply chains, there is a need for rigorous assessment of their social impact. Moving beyond the rhetoric, it is important to establish the actual impact of such codes on poorer workers, their families, and other local stakeholders. This paper sets out the key methodological and conceptual issues arising in such an assessment…
Why Paternalism Survives
Neither deregulation, access to international markets, labour and tenure legislation nor the transition to democracy have fundamentally changed the paternalist labour regime on South African wine farms. Power relations remain visibly unequal, i.e. in most cases the farmer still determines, unilaterally, working rules, wages and housing conditions. Worker' ignorance and passivity and a lack of union resources combine to leave the power of the farm…

Labour organisation in Western cape agriculture
The political maintenance of 'skill
Since the early 1950s, the labour process in South African print shops and newspapers has undergone revolutionary changes. However, the extensive deskilling and wholesale destruction of erstwhile craft jobs did not result in breaking ‘pseudo‐artisan’ domination over non‐journeymen at the point of production, or within the South African Typographical Union. This study investigates the institutional arrangements in the union, the industry and large…
