Book Information The State of the State Institutional Transformation, Capacity and Political Change in South Africa Author: Louis A Picard THE STATE OF THE STATE breaks new ground by exploring political and social issues about the nature of South African state in the 1990s and early 21st century. Picard argues that the structural legacies of the apartheid state embedded in the planning, bureaucratic and administrative systems of government have a continuing influence on the success of the new democratic government in South Africa. The thesis is that political and bureaucratic institutions are important. The book examines the nature of such institutions in apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa by focusing in particular on continuity and change in relation to issues such as affirmative action, patronage, and corruption. The conclusions, following this, are that there is much to be learnt about the current state of the state from past practises. Louis A Picard is a professor in the Division of International Development, Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Pittsburgh. 1 8684 419 4 240x170mm 416 pages R 180 incl.
