摘要

2017年12月，南非执政党非国大(ANC)宣布，他们将采取无偿征用土地和为90%的学生提供免费高等教育的措施。这些政策立场与激进的左翼EFF党有关。本文询问EFF是否影响了ANC的政策转变，如果影响了，又是如何影响的?利用Williams(2006)的外围政党影响理论和过程追踪方法，本研究发现了EFF对非国大土地改革政策转变的直接因果贡献的证据，并为推断EFF对非国大高等教育经费政策转变的间接影响提供了强有力的依据。数据来源包括政策文件、宣言、非洲人国民大会和EFF政治领导人的演讲以及议会动议。该研究有助于研究非洲边缘政党影响和理解民粹主义的文献。

Governing from the opposition?’: tracing the impact of EFF’s ‘niche populist politics’ on ANC policy shifts

ABSTRACT In December 2017, South Africa’s ruling party, the ANC, announced that they will adopt expropriation of land without compensation and free higher education for 90% of students. These policy positions had been associated with the radical left-wing EFF party. This article asks whether the EFF influenced the ANC policy shifts and if they did, how? Leveraging Williams (2006)’s theory of peripheral party impact and the process tracing method, the study finds evidence of EFF direct causal contribution on ANC policy shift on land reform and strong grounds for inferring indirect influence of the EFF on ANC policy shift on higher education funding. Data sources included policy documents, manifestos, speeches by ANC and EFF political leaders and parliamentary motions. The study contributes to the literature on peripheral party impact and understanding populism in Africa.
