From Dutch South Africa to Republic of South Africa 1652–1994 (The Story of Three and a Half Centuries of Imperialism)

Pages : 406
Book Description
Colonisation of South Africa began on April 8, 1652 when a force of 90 men under the command of Von Riebeeck of the Dutch East India Company occupied the Cape. The Dutch rule lasted for a little less than 150 years. The British army took over when it defeated the Dutch forces in Europe in 1795 and remained till 1993. This book is a modest attempt to capture the economic and social history of this region spanning this period of White domination. The book is divided in five parts. Part I discusses in detail the Dutch and the early rule in South Africa. The main socio-economic event of the Dutch Colonisation was the introduction of slavery in March 1658. Interestingly, the slaves out¬numbered white colonist for nearly 100 years resulting in a dominant and overwhelmingly large proportion of the colony's output being contributed by the slaves. Part II and III cover the early British rule of 1806-1902. It also covers the Great Boer Trek of 1834-1850 and four Imperialist wars, two each against the Zulu's and the Boers including the second Boer War of 1899-1902. This part also covers the evolution and growth of capitalism in South Africa in agriculture, mining and manufacturing industry. Part IV describes the destabilisation of Southern African states by Apartheid South Africa. Part V finally discusses the dependence syndrome in Southern Africa. There has been considerable worldwide interest on the subject of independence of South Africa and the role of its architect Mr. Nelson Mandela. There is unanimity that he has empowered the local people and there is a democratic government in place giving due recognition to the majority of population. South Africa has over the last two decades emerged as a regional Power and has the potential to help neighbouring states in their economic and political development.
Communication and Democratic Reform in South Africa
Author: Robert B. HorwitzPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139428691
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
The book examines the reform of the communication sector in South Africa as a detailed and extended case study in political transformation - the transition from apartheid to democracy. The reform of broadcasting, telecommunications, the state information agency and the print press from apartheid-aligned apparatuses to accountable democratic institutions took place via a complex political process in which civil society activism, embodying a post-social democratic ideal, largely won out over the powerful forces of formal market capitalism and older models of state control. In the cautious acceptance of the market, the civil society organizations sought to use the dynamism of the market while thwarting its inevitable inequities. Forged in the crucible of a difficult transition to democracy, communication reform in South Africa was navigated between the National Party's embrace of the market and the African National Congress leadership's default statist orientation.
