This book examines the development of democratic thought in the
African National Congress (ANC) of South Africa, with a focus on
the movement's ideas about participatory democracy. It makes
particular reference to two key periods: the 1980s 'people's power'
movement and the subsequent years of policy formulation from 1990
when the ANC began to design and implement a system of
participatory democracy alongside a representative government.
Through the examination of historic documents and in-depth
interviews with former ANC activists, government officials and
those involved in policy development, the author explores the
inspiration for the party's commitment to establishing
participatory democracy. The book combines democratic theory and
political and intellectual history to look at the role of popular
participation as part of a broader trajectory of the ANC's
democratic thought. It critically engages with concepts used in the
party's participatory discourse with a view to deepening our
understanding of how ideas have shaped the construction of South
Africa's democracy.
