Book Information

• The State of the StateInstitutional
  Transformation, Capacity and Political Change in
  South Africa Author Louis A PicardTHE STATE
  OF THE STATE breaks new ground by exploring
  political and social issues about the nature of
  South African state in the 1990s and early 21st
  century. Picard argues that the structural
  legacies of the apartheid state embedded in the
  planning, bureaucratic and administrative systems
  of government have a continuing influence on the
  success of the new democratic government in South
  Africa. The thesis is that political and
  bureaucratic institutions are important. The book
  examines the nature of such institutions in
  apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa by
  focusing in particular on continuity and change
  in relation to issues such as affirmative action,
  patronage, and corruption. The conclusions,
  following this, are that there is much to be
  learnt about the current state of the state from
  past practises. Louis A Picardis a professor
  in the Division of International Development,
  Graduate School of Public and International
  Affairs, University of Pittsburgh.
