Global Studies Courses 2007-8

Doing Business in South Africa (Summer I)

South Africa’s post-apartheid governments have made impressive forays into transitioning to democracy for all.  Programs delivering essential social services to the majority of South African people are in effect, and access to better education and business opportunities are legitimate. Nevertheless, such changes insist on a long-term process and require the sustained leadership and cooperation among the nation's disparate groups.

South Africa can be described as having two economies; one that is as strong as any developed country, and another that is uneven and poor.  This class will examine how the two coexist, the financial structures that sustain the country, and the industries that give promise to the country.
