One of the most innovative aspects of South Africa's
democratization has been the emergence of institutions and
processes through which workers and unions may challenge the state
and business to gain varying degrees of control over important
economic decisions. These features are unprecedented in the old
South Africa. Moreover, such institutions and processes are
virtually unknown among developing countries undergoing
democratization, and have few precedents among advanced industrial
countries that have well-established systems of codetermination.
Scholars and practitioners have focused on specific elements of
these changes, such as the National Economic Development and Labour
Council (NEDLAC) or the workplace forum provisions of the Labour
Relations Act. But they have generally missed the fact that the
changes have implications ranging from the factory floor to the
national and societal level, and the extent to which labor has
obtained strong decision-making and consultation rights. Taken
together these features have the potential to deepen dramatically
the political democracy won in 1994. The chapters in this volume
have been written by academics, independent researchers, and
researchers affiliated with labor. The contributions combine depth
of research and critical appraisal with privileged insights into
current policy developments.
