Item Development Planning and Strategies in the Developing World: DEV 311, Degree Examinations May/June 2025(University of Fort Hare, 2025-06-03) Bezuidenhout, A.; Malope, B.Item Development Planning and Strategies in the Developing World: DEV 311, Degree Examinations May/June 2025(University of Fort Hare, 2025-06-03) Bezuidenhout, A.; Malope, B.This document outlines the DEV 311 Development Planning and Strategies in the Developing World degree examination from June 3, 2025, at the University of Fort Hare. The exam is 3 hours long and worth 100 marks. It presents a single, comprehensive essay question that requires an in-depth analysis of South Africa's status as a developmental state, given current unemployment statistics. The question mandates a multi-faceted response: (a) an evaluation of various definitions of a developmental state by prominent scholars (Amano Edigheji, Peter Evans, Thandika Mkandawire, and Ha-Joon Chang) to formulate an original definition; (b) an expansion on this definition by incorporating contemporary approaches to industrial policy (including the Global Value Chains approach) and social policy (such as a basic income grant and expanded public works programmes); and (c) a critical commentary on South Africa's historical performance in both industrial and social policy, concluding with suggestions for future directions to transition the state into a developmental one.Item Introduction to Development Studies: DEV 222, Supplementary Examinations November 2024(University of Fort Hare, 2024-11) Fikeni, T.G.; Maqubela, A.N.This supplementary examination paper for DEV222, "Introduction to Development Studies," is a 3-hour assessment worth 100%.
