Mobility of Values and Standpoints towards Democracy: South Africa's Fragile Democracy?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The chapter presents insight into the current state of values and standpoints towards democracy in South Africa. Therefore, it does not present the topic of mobility in the sense of a geographical movement but rather in metaphorical sense. If we look at the indexes of democracy, South Africa is one of the most successful countries in sub-Saharan Africa. On the other hand, South Africa struggles with several issues: widespread corruption, xenophobia, anti-immigrant protests, violence, demonstrations and rise of political populism, as well as radicalism. The author presents findings which support the argument that those issues are connected with unequal modernization that supports historical cleavages. This in the end leads to values and standpoints that support rather non-democratic than democratic governance. The chapter builds on tradition of Modernization theories and current works of R. Inglehart and World Values Survey. Therefore, it focuses on impact of economic development on values and state of democracy in South Africa.
