Its arguments, however, could be just as easily applied to South Africa and Zimbabwe, though these key areas are not included in the book. Nowhere has affirmative action succeeded in helping those it was designed to assist and everywhere it has led to a worsening in race relations. Sadly, its message is unlikely to be heeded by the South African government, which seems determined to ignore the lessons of the successful Asian tigers and to continue blaming its failings on past events.","PeriodicalId":83269,"journal":{"name":"The South African journal of economic history : [journal of the Economic History Society of Southern Africa]","volume":"35 1","pages":"131 - 138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79246162","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}

However, the scale of environmental degradation during the past hundred years has been unprecedented. During the course of the twentieth century, there was a fourfold increase in the world's population and a fiftyfold increase in global industrial production. The latter growth, confined primarily to the developed economies, was achieved through a massive depletion of natural resources (especially the fossil fuels needed to meet energy demands), and the developed economies became increasingly dependent on the less developed economies for these resources. Through this geographic interdependence, the environmental problems of the more developed economies have spilled over to less developed economies as well.","PeriodicalId":83269,"journal":{"name":"The South African journal of economic history : [journal of the Economic History Society of Southern Africa]","volume":"123 1","pages":"65 - 82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74683461","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}

Although sales policies remained basically conservative they were adapted to changing circumstances during the 1980s, which included the steady decline on balance in the dollar price of gold. In particular, the growth of gold futures and options markets created new opportunities for the marketing of South African gold production. In this article the country's gold sales policies are analysed in the light of contemporary developments in the international gold markets during the 1980s, and the main changes in marketing arrangements are delineated.","PeriodicalId":83269,"journal":{"name":"The South African journal of economic history : [journal of the Economic History Society of Southern Africa]","volume":"16 1","pages":"1 - 17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82527129","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}

Historical events and politics have influenced the settlement and development character of Whittlesea, and an understanding of them is necessary to follow the migration and urbanisation process.

Because of a lack of minerals its economy is, and has historically been, dependent upon the agricultural sector as both source and engine of economic growth. In the 1970s the country was praised for its agricultural based development strategies and it was argued that these strategies were the main cause for the relatively impressive growth records during this decade. However, this success story was not to last for long. The growth halted at the end of the 1970s and has since then been slower than the average in the region. What used to be viewed as a success story turned out instead to be something of a failure, which inspired scholars to begin critical analyses of both contents and outcomes of the agricultural policies in colonial and post-colonial Malawi. Critical analyses existed already in the 1970s but tended to be more polemic.","PeriodicalId":83269,"journal":{"name":"The South African journal of economic history : [journal of the Economic History Society of Southern Africa]","volume":"2015 1","pages":"18 - 39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82749310","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 evolved from being dominated by political criteria to one with greater emphasis on economic realities and constraints facing the country and subsequently the provinces as well. The provinces are engaged in a number of initiatives to promote economic growth and development in their regions. The question that comes to mind is where the success stories are and what are the determining factors in them?\u0000The aim of this article is therefore to evaluate and compare the economic growth performance of the various provinces in South Africa during the last decade. The article is organised as follows. The analysis will consist of a brief discussion of the latest developments in regional development policy in South Africa. This will be followed by the calculation of sectoral growth rates in the provinces for the period between 1991 and 2001. The findings will be further supplemented by the inclusion of rank correlation analysis in an attempt to identify determinants of economic growth. Possible explanations of the trends, relative successes and failures observed will be identified and presented.","PeriodicalId":83269,"journal":{"name":"The South African journal of economic history : [journal of the Economic History Society of Southern Africa]","volume":"149 1","pages":"1 - 17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86895457","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}

Like most 'goods' wood soon ceased to be 'free'. Like most goods its conservation and use came to be encouraged and restricted by private property and government regulation. The purpose of this article is to examine the forestry industry in South Africa from its beginnings to the 1990s, and to draw conclusions as to how regulation influenced the development of the market for trees, particularly those grown for sale for processing into sawn timber. (Trees can be sold as 'standing timber', where the buyer has to fell; or 'at roadside', where the forester himself has felled the tree and dragged it to the nearest usable track; or 'delivered' to the customer's premises, such as a sawmill.)\u0000First, the article briefly discusses the growth and control of private and state forests from the era of Dutch settlement through to early industrialisation. The subsequent section examines the shift from indigenous to plantation forests. This process accelerated (with a widening variety of species) towards and then through the two World Wars. Third, the article discusses how the forestry industry was used to mop up unemployment throughout much of the last century. Fourth, it is noted how the pricing of the industry's output, mainly market-related until the late 1930s, was influenced by government to favour selected end-users. Next the article narrates how some customers (sawmillers) were provided with evergreen, long-term contracts by State forests from the early 1950s, particularly for conifers. These contracts also provided the millers with inputs at below market prices. The milling industry expanded. Private foresters, however, then began either to leave the industry, or to switch to tree species not subject to competition from the State's pine plantations.","PeriodicalId":83269,"journal":{"name":"The South African journal of economic history : [journal of the Economic History Society of Southern Africa]","volume":"07 1","pages":"67 - 99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86000878","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}
