South Africa 1990 - 1996
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page historical overview of the death of apartheid and the emergence of government by the majority. The first six years of life without apartheid has been a segment of time that could serve to set the tone of the next several decades. It is regrettable that South Africa seems to have lost its direction and focus on the higher ideals that were instrumental in ending apartheid, apparently only to replace those ideals by the fantasies of the racism that again is building. When the focus is on the good of the individual rather than the good of the whole, the original goals of that whole are too easily lost. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

South Africa's Electoral System
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing the framework, the list proportional representation electoral system, by which it has conducted its first two national elections after the end of apartheid. The system allows many parties to be heard, but often can block long-term progress. Other nations new to democracy have chosen the same electoral system as did South Africa, but then stayed with systems that are not conducive to maturation of the democracy. South Africa, however, has taken the route of inviting nearly as many voices as there are views for the first two elections, and then reassessing its electoral system to avoid the traps of remaining mired in the many-voice approach. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
