Description

Abstract:: This thesis explores the ways in which Western Cape’s provincial government has transcended South Africa’s post-apartheid developmental failures to promote patterns of labor-intensive, inclusive economic growth over the past five years. While the state’s legacy of racialized oppression has played a fundamental role in the continued marginalization of South Africa’s black and coloured populations, I argue that a combination of misguided state policy and limited governmental capacity to implement developmental reform has limited the emergence of inclusive growth for the majority of South Africans since the end of apartheid. Even still, the empirics of South Africa’s Western Cape suggest that sub-national modes of development can promote substantial instances of inclusive growth, particularly in cases where localized governance structures effectively and transparently embed themselves with private actors to stimulate economic growth in regionally-specific, high-impact economic sectors.
