متن يادداشت

The concept "development" and its corollary "under- development" gained widerecognition and acceptance in the West in late 1950s and early 1960s,contemporaneous with the decolonisation of much of the Third World. In SouthAfrica in contrast, the concept was largely shunned during the 1960s and early1970s as the majority of white academics, politicians and state ideologuesconcentrated on explaining, rationalising and implementing "separatedevelopment" (apartheid). In the mid 1970s, confronted with an enduringstructural/hegemonic crisis, the state and ruling white elite were forced torestructure the prevailing form of domination and embark on a series of newinitiatives to defuse mass struggles and incorporate specific strata of theoppressed black majority. The state's approach, in particular, encapsulated in thenotion of a "total strategy", put forward a new constellation of economic, politicaland ideological policies. It was within the context of this shift in policy that theconcept of "development" can be seen to have emerged in South Africa in the late1970s and early 1980s. This thesis sets out to identify both the factors which gaverise to the concept of "development" in South Africa, and the primary actorsresponsible for propagating the new ideas. It will also investigate the particularinflection given to "development" by apartheid policies. It will be argued that notonly did "development" constitute part of a broad programme of ideologicalrestructuring, but it also had practical content, shaping policies which had amaterial impact on the lives of millions of South Africans. A case study of theTranskei homeland will trace the rise of "development thinking" in one part ofSouth Africa, and will argue that while the ideological content of socio-economicprogrammes might have altered, they did not appear to have substantiallyimproved the living conditions of those to whom they were ostensibly directed.
