Dominance and Decline: The ANC in the Time of Zuma By Susan Booysen

Dominance and Decline: The ANC in the Time of Zuma By Susan Booysen Paperback 186814884X 9781868148844 Dominance and Decline: The ANC in the Time of Zuma Dominance and Decline takes stock of the Zuma led administration and its impact on the African national Congress (AnC). Combining hard hitting arguments with astute analysis Booysen shows how the ANC has become centered on the personage of Zuma, and how defense of his flawed leadership undermines the partys capacity to govern competently and protect its long term future. Following on from her first book, The African National Congress and the Regeneration of Power (2011), Booysens principle argument is that the state is failing as the presidents interests supersede those of party and state. Organisationally, the ANC has become a hegemon riven by faction, while the Zuma ANC oversees the implosion of the tripartite alliance and decimation of the youth, womens and veterans leagues. Electorally, the ANC has been ceding ground to increasingly assertive opposition parties. The ANC falters on the policy front as it regurgitates old ideas and renews and implements these insufficiently. As Zumas replacements start competing and succession politics take shape, the book considers whether the ANC will be able to recover from the damage wrought under Zumas reign. Ultimately, Booysen asserts, the damage is irrevocable though the electorate may still reward the ANC for transcending the Zuma years. This is a must have reference book on the development of the modern ANC. With rigour and incisive ness, Booysen persuasively analyses the cataclysmic period under Zuma and offers scholars and researchers a coherent framework for considering future patterns in the ANC.
