Publisher's Synopsis
Democracy came to South Africa in April 1994, when the African National Congress won a landslide victory in the first free national election in the country's history. That definitive and peaceful transition from apartheid is often cited as a model for others to follow. In this volume, major scholars chronicle South Africa's achievements and challenges since the transition. The contributions represent the state of the art in the study of South African politics, economics, law, and social policy.
