Certified local economic developers are the cornerstone of municipalities that want to grow their economies and uplift the standard of living within communities in South Africa. Both internationally and in South Africa, there is growing awareness that economic development strategies are most effective when they are designed and implemented at a local level.

Local stakeholders are more familiar with the challenges and opportunities faced by the local economy and community and are therefore best placed to design and implement successful economic development strategies. For this reason, local economic development (LED) has emerged as an approach to economic development that holds the potential to promote social and economic development in a way that meets the basic needs of the poor and contributes to the growth of local economies.

This book is the first of its kind in South Africa. Its purpose is to contribute to a shared conceptual understanding of LED, provide guidelines on integrated LED planning and implementation, and contribute to the increasing need for the professionalisation of those working in LED and related sectors.

The content in this book is the result of 20 years of experience working with LED directorates in municipalities and extensive consultation with key public and private LED stakeholders in South Africa. The book is aligned to the competency requirements and continuous professional development programmes of the Economic Development Council of South Africa (EDCSA), which is the professional body for LED and other economic development professionals.

Climate change is one of the central challenges facing African countries and their people. Unless concerted efforts are made worldwide very soon to reduce emissions, climate change impacts are likely to be devastating. Higher-end temperature scenarios present a dark future jeopardising secure access to basic needs such as water, food, housing and a healthy environment, as well as adding to the stressors on natural resources. Those who will suffer the most from the challenges posed by climate change have contributed the least to the problem in the first place: the poor and vulnerable, especially in developing countries. To make matters worse, these are the same people who have benefited the least from modernisation and industrialisation and have a relatively small carbon footprint. This is a double injustice. While climate justice and social justice are difficult to disentangle, neither the legal systems nor the main actors framing the dominant climate change narratives seem sufficiently attentive to the double-edged justice questions posed by the impacts of climate change on poor communities. This book attempts to fill some of the gaps in climate change scholarship by focusing on the climate narratives emerging in and around South Africa - how they relate to broader issues of social justice and resource allocation, and the role of rights talk and legal strategies in the framing of the problems and solutions. In doing so, the book contributes to developing rights- and justice-based strategies for translating knowledge into action. The authors approach the issues from different discourses and practices, but all have in common the integration between fairness related to environmental issues and fairness related to socio-economic issues.

Understanding IFRS for SMEs is a comprehensive and in-depth approach to unpacking the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for small, medium and micro enterprises (SMEs). In an easy to understand manner, the book explains the conceptual as well as the detailed technical knowledge underpinning the requirements of IFRS for SMEs (supplemented by the same for IFRS where applicable). The text is designed to gradually take a student through the necessary thought processes needed to compile financial statements in compliance with IFRS for SMEs, by focussing on the information and skills needed to apply professional judgment in a compilation engagement and ultimately decision-making. While the number of entities that can apply IFRS for SMEs form the majority of business entities in the market place, there is very little conceptual guidance on the application of IFRS for SMEs. This publication is therefore one of the few texts focussing on the application of IFRS for SMEs, while at the same time allowing the reader to see the contrasting requirements of IFRS. The text is designed to assist a student learn the knowledge required to comply with IFRS for SMEs but also understand the conceptual underpinnings of the standards so as to fully master IFRS for SMEs.

Small and medium tourism enterprises (SMTEs) are considered to dominate the global tourism industry numerically, forming the backbone for the delivery of tourism offerings. These enterprises take the form of a range of hotels, bed-and-breakfast accommodation, travel agencies, restaurants, theme parks, events companies, resorts, tourist guides and tour operators, to mention a few. This second edition provides a definitive grounding of how to create and manage tourism ventures. This edition takes an entrepreneurial and managerial approach to the subject, underpinning the various concepts associated with tourism entrepreneurship. The subject is discussed within the context of international best practice and research.

This humorous collection of stories from life at the Bar and on the Bench in the Cape takes a look back at four decades, starting at the end of World War Two and finishing with the arrival of democracy in South Africa.

These tales and recollections, mostly from Bar members now in their 80s, show what an extraordinary time it was for lawyers. Also, remarkably, how much is of relevance to lawyers practising today.

The anecdotes and reminiscences of members of the Bar during this period were collected and edited by Mr Justice Gerald Friedman and Jeremy Gauntlett SC.

Critical Psychology is an approach rather than a theory, an orientation towards psychological knowledge and practice, and to relations of power in general. It is an orientation that cuts across the various sub-disciplines in psychology, and is made up of diverse theoretical perspectives and forms of practice. As such, the best way to grasp critical psychology is by getting a sense of its agendas and functioning across a spread of theories and practices. This is exactly what this book offers, a broad and flexible introduction to critical psychology that explores the diverse concerns of this orientation as it applies to the socio-political contexts of post-apartheid South Africa.

The book expands on the theoretical resources usually referred to in the field of critical psychology – Marxism, psychoanalysis, post-structuralism, feminism – by providing substantive discussions of Black Consciousness, post-colonialism and Africanist forms of critique. This book is also a response to the need to rethink a more politically aware and participant psychology in South Africa; it hence features focus chapters on racism, community development, HIV/Aids and participatory action forms of research.

There are numerous routes through critical psychology, multiple different ways in which the subject can be approached and taught, each with its own particular brand of theoretical loyalties or preferences. This book contains a wealth of material, and a wealth of critical perspectives spread across theoretical, practical and distinctly South African levels of application.

An academic, legal text that places moral and political philosophy at the centre of certain legal debates. In this book, Professor Meyerson specifically investigates the "Limitation Clause" in the South African Constitution, a clause that leaves open the possibility of limits to the Bill of Rights and certain entrenched "freedoms". Through discussions regarding the Freedoms of Expression and Religion, this book aims to play a role in defining, expanding and challenging the South African Constitution.

The second edition of this popular book, written by seasoned practitioners in this field, offers step-by-step guidance in dealing with disputes in the workplace.

Labour Dispute Resolution sets out the system provided in our law for resolving labour disputes, either in terms of the Labour Relations Act or by private dispute resolution. It guides employees, employers, trade unions and employers' organisations (and their representatives) through the various processes to be followed, and sets out the institutions to which particular disputes should be referred.

An important addition to the second edition is a new section on dispute resolution in the public sector.

Corporate governance principles, codes and regulations have developed over the past few years to cater for the challenging realities of a changing world. These advances come in the wake of revelations of weaknesses in organisational leadership and structures, and amid vocal calls for transparency. Corporate governance as a tool for sustainable development of businesses is now more relevant than ever. A recent trend has been to approach corporate governance principles from an 'outcomes based' perspective. This requires businesses to consider the benefits of good governance properly applied and fully achieved. Outcomes-Based Governance: A Modern Approach to Corporate Governance was written to demystify outcomes-based governance and emerging corporate governance trends. The book also aims to aid their adaptability in emerging economies. The authors, from South Africa and Nigeria, have decades of experience and knowledge to share.

Developing effective schools which provide relevant, meaning-filled, quality education in South Africa today is a daunting task. Since apartheid was dismantled, the educational environment of many schools is still rife with the structural inequalities and challenges that form part of apartheid's legacy. And in the current South African educational system, enabling policy frameworks only go so far in creating a meaningful school environment. This updated edition of The Learning School offers educators insights, guidelines and a holistic perspective on how to engage with the development of a school, using a psycho-social approach. It emphasises the importance of teachers having a sense of purpose and belonging in education; that teaching and learning can make a difference; and the crucial role teaching and learning can play as a healing force in society. It stresses that real and lasting change in schools can only happen through the passion and commitment of educators over a sustained period of time.

Understanding sectoral determination 9: The wholesale & retail sector presents a non-legalistic commentary on the specific minimum conditions of employment applicable to persons employed in South Africa in this sector. The key provisions of the sectoral determination are covered in a systematic manner, with 'Key Point' summaries at the end of each section. Understanding sectoral determination 9 also contains the text of the legislation for easy reference. All employers in this sector are required, in terms of s36 of the determination, to have a copy of the determination available at the workplace. This title fulfills that requirement, as well as providing an explanation of the law.

Property is a constitutionally protected right around the world. Expropriations are lawful only if they can be legitimately justified. In the past few decades, there has been an increasing number of expropriations in favour of private business projects. Governments hope that these projects will create jobs and economic growth, but the justification of such third-party transfers for economic development is controversial. The public benefits of such expropriations are disputed, since they directly benefit private parties, and frequently do not have the desired outcome. The Legitimate Justification of Expropriation: A Comparative Law and Governance Analysis investigates the institutional, procedural, and substantive conditions under which different jurisdictions permit third-party transfers for economic development. The jurisdictions examined are the Netherlands, Germany, New York State and South Africa. The Legitimate Justification of Expropriation: A Comparative Law and Governance Analysis shows that employment or economic growth created by private business projects is a legitimate end in all the jurisdictions under examination. However, some striking differences between the jurisdictions are evident, with respect to several questions, including: Which state body decides on whether economic development is a legitimate end? Can a judge prevent unnecessary or excessive expropriations? Is the project developer obliged to implement the project? Against the backdrop of international good governance standards, The Legitimate Justification of Expropriation: A Comparative Law and Governance Analysis assesses whether the laws in these jurisdictions are adequate. The book demonstrates that the examined jurisdictions in various respects fail to meet international standards and recommends legal reforms to ensure compliance.
