Three Decades of South African Democracy, Volume II

This book is one of two volumes that examines democracy and politics in South Africa over the last three decades. Bringing together leading scholars and practitioners, the book critically evaluates the successes and challenges of post-apartheid governance, paying particular attention to key issues such as government dysfunction, political corruption, and economic transformation. Multidisciplinary in approach and bridging theory and practice, the book is an essential resource for reimagining South Africa’s democratic future. It will appeal to students and scholars of public administration, governance and politics in Africa and beyond, as well as practitioners and policymakers.
