Celebrated as a beacon of democracy and reconciliation, many people
in South Africa continue to live in severe poverty, particularly in
the Eastern Cape Province. Backed by the United Nations Development
Programme, the Eastern Cape's provincial government consequently
launched an historically ambitious programme - the Provincial
Growth and Development Plan - aimed at tackling the province's
poverty, unemployment and inequality over a ten-year period in a
radical policy overhaul. Drawing on the author's first-hand
engagement with the planning process, Development Planning in South
Africa is an empirically rich study that utilises a
strategic-relational approach to explore the ways in which this
unprecedented challenge was negotiated and eventually undermined by
the South African state. The first work of its kind, the book
provides an indispensable micro-level study with profound
implications for how state power is understood to be organised and
expressed in state policy. Relevant beyond South Africa to policy
implementation in both developing and developed states globally,
the book is essential reading for students and scholars of
government studies, political economy, development, policy studies
and social movements.
