| dc.description.abstract | 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. | |
