Aliber, M. (2005) Overcoming underdevelopment in South africa's second economy: 2005 development report. (Prepared for the UNDP, Southern Africa and the DBSA, July).
|
The point of departure for this Report is a simple question. Why, if the origins of economic dualism are rooted in the system of heap, forced, migrant labour introduced with the beginnings of the mining industry and reinforced during apartheid, does dualism persist

The aim of this article is to tease out some theoretical and policy issues that require consideration in South Africa's attempt to build a developmental state. Theoretical issues have been largely neglected in the public debate, and the authors have focused on the policy issues that we believe require urgent attention if South Africa is to construct a state that can be regarded as developmental.

Developmentalism has been one of the main justifications for public sector reforms. In what concerns Africa, this, in part, has been based on the assumption that public sector reforms, which will make the state effective, efficient, responsive, accountable and productive, are necessary conditions for the development of the continent. Not surprisingly, a plethora of public sector reforms has b...

Luka, S. (2005) Increasing access to employment through government programmes: experience with expanded public works programme and community development workers. (September).

Lesotho is the second smallest country in southern Africa after Swaziland, landlocked and surrounded by South Africa. The country, with its population of 2.1 million people, is one of the least developed in the world. Mountains make up almost three-quarters of the country. The lowlands, where the capital city, Maseru, is situated, constitute about one quarter of the land. About 80 per cent of ...

Knowing more about ourselves as teachers and teacher educators change us, provokes growth, jolts us out of complacency -sometimes radically, in ways that can seem transformative. IN the course of examining one's practice systematically, a pivotal "aha' moment can occur, a jolting of the kaleidoscope that shifts our view when we reach one of those precise or fuzzy points at which we are irrevoc...

The period since the Second World War in Africa has been dominated by three related themes: political nationalism, communal competition, and economic development. The state is central to all of them.
