ANC, NEW LABOUR AND THE POST-KEYNESIAN NEOLIBERAL WORLD: A COMPARISON
В последнее время распространилось мнение о том, что Африка представляет собой нечто совершенно отличное от других континентов. Например, раздаются голоса о том, что Африку даже некорректно сравнивать с Россией - якобы у них слишком разная политическая культура и политическая практика. Предлагаемая вниманию читателей статья, тем не менее, посвящена именно сравнению - сравнению политики двух правящих партий - Африканского национального конгресса в ЮАР и Лейбористской партии в Великобритании. Автор ее сам хорошо знаком с "двумя мирами" - гражданин США, он свыше 30 лет живет и работает в ЮАР.

In particular, I attempt to compare the ways in which each regime, and the society it represents, has adapted to the hegemony of neoliberal ("monetarist") market economics, increasingly evident throughout the industrialized world since the mid 1970s. Both their leaders, Tony Blair and Thabo Mbeki respectively, would call themselves heirs of a "center-left", social democratic or (particularly in Mbeki's case) "progressive" tradition, reaching back at least to the post World War II period. And yet, not only have they made fundamental deviations from that tradition1, but, as this paper will argue, each has done so within a radically different context from the other, reflecting the very different societies in question. Although the aim of this paper is ultimately to focus on South Africa, considerable attention has been devoted to Britain as well in the ... Read more
