Jubilee South Africa invites You To A Book Launch
=NEPAD and South African Imperialism=

The official wisdom coming from those in government circles closely involved in the drafting of NEPAD holds that the leading role played by the South African state is motivated by national interests and the need to create a favourable environment for socio-economic development on the continent. On the contrary, in this Booklet we argue that it is the interests of the large sections of South African capital that explains the role played by the local state in the life of NEPAD. Having successfully shaped the hegemony of neo-liberal policies in South Africa, these social forces have set out to extend these to the rest of the continent through the adoption of NEPAD. In this Booklet we will show how the expansive needs of South African capital are responsible for measures to open-up economies of other African countries and make them conducive to capital accumulation.
