Foster, Kevin JR Taljaard, Raenette Public Policy and Administration Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references. This thesis examines the South African electricity policy-making regime asking the question "What is the nature of South Africa's electricity policy regime and how does it act as a barrier to reform and the introduction of sustainable energy sources into the South Africa's energy system from 1994 to 2011?" It hypothesizes that a policy regime that amounts to a coalition between energy intensive business, electricity utility Eskom and the Government that has developed in the post apartheid era out of what Fine and Rustomjee called the Minerals-Energy Complex. It hypothesizes that this regime uses its financial and political power and skills asymmetries to ensure policy is made in a supply paradigm, which prefers cheap source of electricity supply to meet growing demand over efficiency and sustainability in the energy system and that this is the major barrier to reform. 2015-01-11T13:27:55Z 2015-01-11T13:27:55Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12080 eng application/pdf Department of Political Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
