Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proposal to nationalise mines is a contentious issue in South Africa. There are those who argue for, while others against, the proposal. Furthermore, the role of government in this process is relatively unclear. The study investigates the proposed nationalisation of mines and probable policy implications for South Africa. The study is aimed at establishing whether the nationalisation of mines is worth pursuing or not, given South Africa℗þs current political and economic landscape. The study also investigates nationalisation from an international perspective and provides an overview of countries where mineral and petroleum resources were successfully nationalised. Moreover, these countries are compared to the South African scenario. The study also analyses Alexkor, AEMFC, Eskom, SAA and the SABC and draws a relationship between the management of SOE℗þs and the probable administration of nationalised mines. A qualitative approach was adopted for this study. Case studies were utilised to address the objectives of the study. This research approach was relevant for this study because it sought responses to the question of whether South Africa can carry out the nationalisation of mines, given its current track record of the mines and the 5 SOE℗þs. The study seeks examples of countries that have successfully executed the nationalisation of mineral and petroleum resources. Through the analysis of these cases, recommendations are made in terms of how South Africa may approach the nationalisation of mines in order for it to succeed. The study analysed and investigated the debate of nationalisation in South Africa by exploring its advantages and disadvantages to perspectives drawn from countries where nationalisation was successful, including instances of failure. Moreover, the study focused on the role of public administration, in the implementation of the nationalisation of mines. The study revealed that the successful implementation of nationalisation requires the state to take a lead role in the facilitation of the regulatory environment. Furthermore, the study also revealed that the success of nationalisation is dependent on the relationship between the government and private investors. Negotiations in terms of the control of mineral and petroleum resources in some countries have contributed towards the success of nationalisation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Democratization in South Africa has been accompanied by continuing and even deepening economic inequalities. Rather than proposing a blueprint for a more equable economic system, this book presents the results and implications of wide-ranging research on the history and current dynamics of the South African economy over the past fifty years. The authors analyze a range of strategic economic trajectories, linking these to the shifting balance of economic and political power, and they set the parameters within which the economic and political debates are conducted. }The acclaim with which democratization in South Africa has been greeted has been tempered by the recognition that there are at the same time continuing and even deepening economic inequalities. This is more disturbing given the extreme economic disparity experienced by much of the black population, the retreat from commitments to public ownership enshrined in the Freedom Charter, the unambiguous safeguarding of private capital, and the obstacles placed in the way of progressive economic policies by business interests and the entrenched apartheid-era bureaucracy. Rather than proposing a blueprint for a more equable economic system, this book presents the results and implications of detailed and wide-ranging research on both the history and current dynamics of the South African economy, from the Second World War to the present. The authors analyze a range of strategic economic trajectories, linking these to the shifting balance of economic and political power in South Africa. But their approach is not prescriptive; instead they set the parameters within which the economic and political debates are conducted. They also discuss the theoretical arguments involved in the propositions that they and others have put forward. The books value is enhanced by the comprehensiveness of the data presented, and each chapter is self-contained so that particular topics can be studied separately.
