Post Apartheid South Africa; Evaluating South Africa's Institutional Design

---

Abstract

In this paper, I aim to evaluate whether increasing or decreasing the level of consociationalism in South Africa would be beneficial for the country's stability. Analysing South Africa's political structure since the implementation of free and fair elections, I review the effects of its current degree of consociationalism and debate the arguments of those who contest South Africa's current institutional framework and its capacity to govern.

Keywords: post-apartheid South Africa, consociationalism
