The Foundations of the South African Cheap Labour System

The Foundations of the South African Cheap Labour System

Originally published in 1982 this was the first in-depth study of the labour system of the South African gold mining industry during the crucial years 1886 to 1906. It provided an insight into the early period but was relevant for much longer as many of the policies decided upon in the formative years of the industry persisted. The book traces the growth of deep-level mining and covers the conflicts between miners and mine-owners . It discusses the effects on the gold mining industry of the Anglo-Boer War and the role of the mine-owners in that conflict. It also examines the role of Chinese labour as a strategy in the defence of the labour structure and finally discusses the origins of the racially discriminatory legislation which characterized the Apartheid system. | The Foundations of the South African Cheap Labour System

The Soviet System Models of a Political Society

The Soviet System Models of a Political Society

Many things make up a modern society: its history culture natural setting wealth classes and peoples. For some the power structure the political system lies at the heart of the social order. Russia has long been a political society and its future may also be decided in large part by the power structure. A good way to understand Russia and other modern societies is to examine the ties between the Soviet system and the rest of the country's life. George Fischer argues that it is these ties that explain much about the consequences of a communist state. The Soviet System originally published in 1968 presents a provocative challenge to prevailing theories of modernization throughout the world. In this book Fischer takes issue with current assumptions that societies developing an advanced fully modern economy and culture must inevitably adopt Western-type social and political institutions. The author holds that our understanding of contemporary nations is impeded by assessing them in terms of the prevailing American theory of pluralism. The notion that a pluralist division of labor pervades all of modern society is challenged and tested in the context of the former Soviet Union as a modern society. The emergence of the dual executive a leader with a special mixture of political and economic know-how is emphasized as a trend toward a monist model of society. Fischer demonstrates how this model in which all power is public and both industry and culture remain part of a non-capitalist non-liberal state structure can prove useful in studying social change today. The result is a book of value to all scholars and students dealing with the social and political systems of both developing and advanced societies long after the Soviet system of rule dissolved. | The Soviet System Models of a Political Society

Evolution of the British Party System 1885-1940

Evolution of the British Party System 1885-1940

By the end of the nineteenth century reform and development of the British electoral system had inaugurated a new style of mass politics which fundamentally transformed the face of the British party system. This book traces the evolution of recognisably modern parties from their roots in the 1880s through half a century of dramatic change in organisational structure electoral competition and constitutional thought. In the House of Commons the Labour Party replaced the Liberals as the radical answer to the Conservative Party. In the country at large the complex web of Victorian social regional and religious allegiances gave way to a cruder but more dynamic model of modern political loyalties. The transformation at Westminster and in the constituencies is surveyed in relation to changes to the franchise (including the vote for women) class consciousness political organisation and doctrine. The comprehensive account explains the varying fortunes of the parties in the face of mass democracy collectivism the First World War and economic uncertainty. It also provides a critical insight into the debates and conflicts of interpretation which surround this pivotal period in British political history. | Evolution of the British Party System 1885-1940
