Interventionism, Authoritarianism, and the Liberal State in South Africa.
The liberal constitution in South Africa, which entrenches a certain kind of socio-economic organization, renders traditional African systems of socio-economic organization dysfunctional.

Traditional communitarian systems contain within themselves structures endorsing mutuality and reciprocity as ground rules or values distributing significant resources (both material and moral) to agents in accordance with their socially determined desserts. The absence of these structures in South Africa contributes to a condition, inflamed by liberal structures, of rights paralysis under which agents are unable to translate rights into substantial benefits. In this article, I examine this condition with reference to two communitarian systems in order to exhibit their advantages as correctives to the paralysis of rights and also to compare them in order to establish the one appropriate to conditions in South Africa. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Philosophia Africana is the property of Pennsylvania State University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
