The Sociopolitical Structure of Accumulation and Social Policy in Southern Africa

Patrick Bond

Chapter 7 in Social Policy in Sub-Saharan African Context, 2007, pp 198-223 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter seeks to clarify, as Huck-ju Kwon (2002: 1) puts it, how the ‘socio-political structure of accumulation’ in Southern Africa emerged based upon ‘the agendas of social actors and the development trajectories of countries’. This analysis permits a further explanation of water and health policies in three countries: South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. These are the most industrially developed economies in the region (not including the island nation of Mauritius), with extensive upper-class, middle-class and working-class populations, and large numbers of rural and urban unemployed.
