Framed around developmental state theory, the book argues that the role of the state in South Africa will be fundamental for addressing the triple challenges of unemployment, poverty, and inequality. There is a growing concern that South Africa is at a development impasse, with ongoing crises in energy, infrastructure, and unemployment. The chapters investigate the role of the post-apartheid state in pursuing development and navigating a neoliberal globalised society. The book explores state capacity in all spheres of government, the relationship between politics and bureaucracy, and the role of state-owned enterprises in the country's developmental aspirations. The book concludes by summarising the successes, challenges and lessons that have emerged over the course of the book; and anticipating future directions or possibilities for the state in South Africa's development impasse.
Bringing together leading voices in the field, this book will be an essential read for researchers of African politics, political economy and development. The book is also relevant for policymakers, students and practitioners in social sciences.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
