Backed by the United Nations Development Programme, the Eastern Cape's provincial government consequently launched an historically ambitious effort--the Provincial Growth and Development Plan--aimed at tackling the province's poverty, unemployment and inequality over a ten-year period in a radical policy overhaul. Drawing on the author's first-hand engagement with the planning process, Development Planning in South Africa is an empirically rich study that utilises a strategic-relational approach to explore the ways in which this unprecedented challenge was negotiated and eventually undermined by the South African state. The first work of its kind, the book provides an indispensable micro-level study with profound implications for how state power is understood to be organised and expressed in state policy. Relevant beyond South Africa to policy implementation in both developing and developed states globally, the book is essential reading for students and scholars of government studies, political economy, development, policy studies and social movements--back cover. 410 0$aPolitics and development in contemporary Africa. 606 $aEconomic development$zSouth Africa$zEastern Cape 606 $aPolitical culture$zSouth Africa 606 $aDevelopment studies$2bicssc 607 $aEastern Cape (South Africa)$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aEconomic development 615 0$aPolitical culture 615 7$aDevelopment studies 676 $a338.96875 700 $aReynolds$b John Hunter$f1967-$01669640 801 0$bYDX 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823708703321 996 $aDevelopment planning in South Africa$94030940 997 $aUNINA
