The organisation and behaviour of interest groups: a theoretical review and application to South Africa
Item
- Title
- The organisation and behaviour of interest groups: a theoretical review and application to South Africa
- Description
- A working paper analysing the feasibility of a "National Accord" between government, labour, and business following the 1996 release of the GEAR (Growth, Employment and Redistribution) strategy and the Labour Market Commission (LMC) report. It evaluates South African interest group dynamics through the dual theoretical lenses of Corporatism and Public Choice theory, questioning if a social pact is possible given the fragmented nature of local interest groups and the ANC-COSATU alliance.
