Includes bibliographical references (leaves 65-72). This thesis argues that the emergence of a developmental state is contingent on a developmental bureaucracy, which is in turn spawned by a developmental leadership. A developmental leadership creates a developmental bureaucracy through the depoliticisation of economic issues and the insulation of the bureaucracy from political interference. In substantiating this central argument, two countries – South Korea under Park Chung-hee, and Ghana under Kwame Nkrumah – are studied. South Korea and Ghana present contrasting fortunes of progress on the path of development. In 1957 when Ghana gained independence, its per capita income was more than that of South Korea. 2014-07-30T03:45:57Z 2014-07-30T03:45:57Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MSocSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/3727 eng application/pdf Department of Political Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
