Item Industrial decentralisation, Bantustan policy, and the control of labour in South Africa(1984-08-06) Tomlinson, Richard; Hyslop, JonathanDuring the last two decades, industrial decentralisation and growth centre policies have been widely applied throughout the world. In this paper the authors describe a rather distinct application of those policies, namely that directed to facilitating the control of labour in South Africa. We also assess the extent to which the policies have "succeeded" and can succeed. Success cannot be judged in terms of criteria that may be used when evaluating decentralisation policies elsewhere in the world. In South Africa, such policies have been explicitly designed to further the system of apartheid and thereby the control of labour. Their success or failure lies in the extent to which they are able to do that. We have stressed how the recent emphasis on industrial decentralisation reflects the current and lasting crisis in Bantustan policy (2).Item The role of regional policy in South Africa(1984-09) Bell, TrevorThis paper focuses principally on the question of the fundamental political and economic functions of regional policy in the South African system. A number of interesting and useful contributions on this subject have appeared recently1 but the discussion remains in an unsettled state and further efforts to clarify the issues seem to be needed. One requirement for dealing satisfactorily with the question of the role of regional policy is the determination of actual past trends in the regional distribution of the manufacturing employment and the causes of these trends. There is in fact a remarkable paucity of solid data on actual past trends in the geographical distribution of industrial employment, and a consequent tendency for some recent discussion of the role of the state In this sphere to suffer from reliance on out of date p and l nadequate information. One aim of the paper, therefore, is to c l a r i fy the question of actual trends 1n the inter-regional distribution of manufacturing employment and the causes of these trends.Item The South African Rebellion of 1914: The industrialisation, poverty and 'poor whiteism'(1982-06) Bottomley, JohnItem South Africa's Path to Industrialisation, c1850-1925.(1993-06-28) Ally, Russell
