Beskrivning

An evaluation of the ANC's second phase of the national democratic revolution.In the face of the continuing national tragedy of the inequality, poverty and unemployment which have triggered rising working-class discontent around the country, the ANC announced a 'second phase' of the 'national democratic revolution' to deal with the challenges. Ironically, the ANC post-Mangaung has resolved to preserve the core tenets of the minerals-energy-financial complex that defined racial capitalism - while at the same time ratcheting up the revolutionary rhetoric to keep the working class and marginalised onside. If the 'first phase' was a tragedy of the unmet expectations of the majority, is the 'second phase' likely to be a farce? The chapters in this volume are written by experts in their fields and address issues of politics, power and social class; economy, ecology and labour; public policy and social practice; and South Africa beyond its borders. They examine some of these challenges, and indicate that they are as much about the defective content of policies as their poor implementation. The third volume of the New South African Review continues the series by providing in-depth analyses of the key issues facing the country today.

The New South African Review offers, for the third time, a valuable compass to navigate us through South(ern) African socio-economic and political realities. It is an important stocktaking exercise. With every year, the New South African Review becomes an ever more important tool for analytical insights into, and assessments of, the challenges. - Henning Melber, Director Emeritus of the Dag Hammarskjöld Foun- dation in Uppsala, Sweden; Extraordinary Professor in the Department of Political Sciences, University of Pretoria; and Research Associate with the Centre for Africa Studies, University of the Free State.
