Week 5 - Reconstruction: From the RDP and GEAR to the National Development Plan (50 items) This week we look at the measures designed to promote reconstruction within South Africa. In 1996 the Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) was replaced by the Growth, Employment and Redistribution (GEAR) strategy, which attracted criticism for its neo-liberal underpinnings. In November 2010 the government launched the New Growth Path (NGP), which seeks to address the persistence of unemployment, poverty and inequality. However, this appears to have been superseded by the National Development Plan, which was published in August 2012. In-class film: ‘South Africa: The Massacre That Changed a Nation’ (2013).
Week 5 Seminar Details and Essential Reading (2 items) 1. Since 1994 what policies has the government adopted to foster socio-economic reconstruction? 2. Why do you think the government changed its strategy from the RDP to the GEAR? 3. Could South Africa become a 'developmental state'?

Week 10 - South Africa in the World: African Renaissance and a Moral Foreign Policy? (54 items) The ANC promised a new dawn in South African foreign policy when it came to power in 1994. Human rights were placed at the centre of the post-apartheid approach. Under President Mbeki this shifted to the idea of an African Renaissance, reflected in his support for the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD). In more recent times under President Zuma there has been an increasing focus on relations with the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China) and in December 2010 South Africa was formally invited to join this group of countries.
