The state’s capacity to deliver and drive a developmental agenda is fundamental to the success of any nation. This applies to crucial areas such as the provision of energy, water-resource management, foreign policy, security, the courts, the economy and social equity, the role of traditional authorities, and gender equality. For South Africa, among the key issues are the extent to which the country has overcome the legacy of colonialism and apartheid, the changes needed to realise the ambition of a ‘developmental state’, and the role of civil society in holding state institutions accountable.
The State of the South African State
This edited volume examines the challenges and dilemmas of state institutions operating in a time of global geopolitical uncertainty, widening wealth inequality, post-Covid-19 impacts and unprecedented social, economic, environmental and technological upheaval. The book assesses the South African state’s performance in weathering these challenges, while at the same time examining its evolution since 1994.
