This book critically examines the current social policy in
post-apartheid South Africa and proposes an alternative social
policy agenda to create a new development pathway for the country.
Taking social policy as a vehicle that will facilitate the creation
of a new society altogether, namely the "Good Society," the author
argues for the adoption of policy that will socially re-engineer
South Africa. The author shows how the policy tools and development
interventions which were undertaken by the post-apartheid state in
driving South Africa's transformation agenda failed to emancipate
many individuals, families, and communities from the cycle of
intergenerational poverty and underdevelopment. He contends that
social policy interventions that foster the social re-engineering
of South African society must take place to untangle the inherited
colonial-apartheid social order. This book includes comparative
analyses on the Global South and Global North to present the ways
in which countries such as post-Second World War Great Britain and
Sweden, and post-independence Zambia of the 1960s and 1970s, were
able to use social policy to create new societies altogether or
places similar to the "Good Society." The conceptual and
methodological issues that form the basis for this book reside in
public policy-making and the public good and will be of interest to
scholars of social policy, social development, and South African
society.
