Question 2

Comparatively speaking, the democratic transition in South Africa has been relatively easier than that in other transitional democracies because

a. the politically independent settler state that existed during the apartheid years was able to use the revenues from the local production of primary commodities to develop a relatively diversified economy, which in turn has meant that the current transitional democracy has inherited a strong economy.
b. democratization was proceeded by a much longer process of economic liberalization. This has meant that South Africa has not had to undergo the types of dual shocks seen in post-communist countries.
c. many of the more severe elements of apartheid began to be dismantled even before 1990, which in turn encouraged the development and growth of associational life.
d. the constitutional negotiations that began the transition did not take place in a political vacuum or a situation of near state collapse.
e. all of these.
