Election Synopsis (Vol 1 Number 4 2004)
Many commentators deemed the 2004 elections to be a big yawn. They contended that the ANC’s victory was a foregone conclusion, and that there was very little difference between the competing parties’ manifestoes; to the extent, some argued, that a national consensus had been achieved. However, the articles in this final edition of election synopsis illustrate that these commentators were wrong, and that the actual results of the elections point to enormous complexities and nuances within voting behaviour, and dynamics between and within parties. They challenge some of the arguments presented in previous editions of electionsynopsis; for example, those which asserted that citizens continue to be locked into identity politics, and that the “liberation dividend” of the ANC was beginning to lose its value.

Election Synopsis (Vol 1 Number 3 2004)
This issue of electionsynopsis addresses a contradiction which much commentary seems to assume lies at the heart of South African politics. On the one hand, we have a plethora of political parties. This is a product, not just of the opportunity provided by the national list proportional representation system, but also of the celebrated diversity of our population in terms of race, culture, language, class and so on. On the other hand, it is equally said that, in these post-apartheid, post-Cold War years, our parties are actually offering us all much of the same thing: a rather similar centrist mix of ‘caring capitalism’, (even if, as if we cannot wholly abandon ‘the struggle years’ of the past, the ‘c’ word has gone out of political fashion).

Election Synopsis (Vol 1 Number 1 2004)
Election Synopsis is a result of the labours of four partner organisations who are combining their efforts to research and analyse the 2004 elections, and gauge the implications for governance and democracy for the next five years.These partners are the Centre for Public Participation (CPP), the Institute for Democracy in South Africa (IDASA), the Human Sciences Research Council's Democracy and Governance Programme (HSRC:D&G)and the Centre for Policy Studies (CPS). The major themes, which will enjoy specialist attention are public participation, politics and identity, party manifestos and campaigns, and interpretation of the results of the 2004 polls and their implications for democratic governance.
