With regard to postmodern discourse I distinguish between a sceptical and an affirmative approach. This is followed by an exploration of the nature of politics in affirmative postmodernism. A positive evaluation of deconstruction highlights the notion of difference which enables one to develop a politics of plurality based on the principle of the negotiation of difference. This leads to a distinction between various meanings of the term culture followed by a demonstration of the complexity involved in the use of the term multiculturalism. I discuss in conclusion some of the philosophical and political problems related to multi‐cultural issues.","PeriodicalId":81644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth political studies","volume":"15 1","pages":"54-71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74614835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tolerance, however, is a puzzling and complex attitude because it does not correlate well with other indicators of democracy. A better understanding is needed of the link between political tolerance and civil liberties, the indicators of tolerance, the link between tolerance and public policy, the malleability of tolerance attitudes, the role of political leaders in the creation of tolerance and the link between intolerant attitudes and political behaviour. This article attempts to shed light on these aspects and then to illustrate the complexity of tolerance attitudes with a case study of intolerance in KwaZulu‐Natal.","PeriodicalId":81644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth political studies","volume":"380 1","pages":"22-35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80659469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As decisionmaking in local government is highly complex in nature it is difficult to judge whether decisions are correct or incorrect at the time when they are taken. Using a particular definition of decision‐making and focusing on group decision‐making theoretical perspectives some norms are deduced which may improve the quality of decision‐making in a democratic setting. These norms are then contextualised within local government by referring to their implications in respect of the roles of elected representatives and officials and the influence of values and norms and role perceptions of these role players.","PeriodicalId":81644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth political studies","volume":"56 1","pages":"72-84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80194480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It argues and demonstrates that by the nature of the country — its multi‐racial, international population, strategic importance to the West, continued practice of the worst form of colonial oppression and exploitation long after colonialism had become an anachronism, and the power of the apartheid state which was difficult for the liberation movements alone to defeat — the pressures and forces unleashed in these contexts played a key role in democratic transition. The paper examines the various forces and pressures, and shows that the global context was the more critical because of the dependency and weakness of the African states which spearheaded the anti‐apartheid movement. Within the global context, the apartheid regime exploited the cold war to delay transformation, but once the war ended and the global democratic revolution was set in motion, the road to democrat...","PeriodicalId":81644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth political studies","volume":"69 1","pages":"36-53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87204453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It focuses on the period leading up to the April 1994 South African elections. The article is based on focus group and large‐scale national survey sections of the Matla Trust Voter Education Research Project, 1992–1994. Information on the dimensions of empowerment versus disempowerment to vote was selected for this article. Empowerment refers to the personal motivation, the extent of social and political facilitation, and the skills to participate in the elections and political process. The focus group findings provided insights into the voters’ feelings about and perceptions of voting, elections and democracy. It helped develop an inclusive conceptualisation of “disempowerment”. It illuminated feelings about election participation in turbulent times. Yet, it could not replace the detailed demographic understanding and regional breakdown of voter empowerment, gained from...","PeriodicalId":81644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth political studies","volume":"8 1","pages":"43-61"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82031917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cultural diversity is seen as affirmed at personal and national – but not communal – level. The RDP is presented as a political instrument with particular objectives. The extent of ANC ambivalence about ethnic and cultural diversity, its general effects, and the implications for implementation of the RDP provide avenues for further discussion.","PeriodicalId":81644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth political studies","volume":"53 1","pages":"4-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83518105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article investigates the background to the National Peace Accord, the structures which composed it and offers a critical overview of the successes and shortcomings of this particular peace initiative.

One of the most bitter constitutional conflicts which has emerged so far, has been the demarcation dispute around the Western Cape Metropolitan Area substructures. This dispute was between the African National Congress – dominated Government of National Unity and the National Party – controlled Western Cape Provincial Government. This paper is an analysis of this demarcation dispute. It concludes that the outcome of this dispute threw up certain ironies. Firstly, the National Party ended up implicitly agreeing with the demarcation option that it had for so long vehemently rejected, namely the amalgamation of Khayelitsha with Tygerberg. Secondly, the National Party referred the demarcation dispute in order to strengthen provincial powers. However, it ended up with less provincial powers than it had started off with.","PeriodicalId":81644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth political studies","volume":"2 1","pages":"21-42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80173650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This package should include: scrapping the imperative mandate of parliamentarians, maintaining the proportional system of representation but adding the possibility of a geographic, constituency based representation, keeping the parliamentary executive, bringing back the separation between head of state (president) and head of government (premier), limiting motions of no confidence in the premier and government, providing for a constructive motion of no confidence in the premier, maintaining the principle that the government agenda receives precedence in parliament, giving the premier the right to dissolve parliament, prohibiting budget busting, and leaving space for constitutional conventions to develop regarding the co...","PeriodicalId":81644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Commonwealth political studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"62-78"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77033695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
