“…The first attempt at such negotiations was the Convention for a Democratic South Africa (CODESA I), which set some ground rules going forward and established working groups to prepare for CODESA II. CODESA II, however, collapsed because of a lack of agreement on the size of the majorities necessary in an elected constitution-making body to adopt a new Constitution (Corder & Du Plessis, 1994: 6; see also Cachalia, 1992;Welsh, 1992;Friedman, 2021).

Beyond Expropriation Without Compensation

2024

Speeding up land reform through a constitutional amendment that would explicitly permit the expropriation of land without compensation has dominated legal and political-policy debates in South Africa in recent years. Taking this politically and emotionally charged issue as its starting point, this volume offers both expert commentary on this issue from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and also fresh ideas on how to advance the redistributive transformation that South Africa so urgently needs. It brings critically important debates around transformative property law, the need for diversified land justice and the possibilities of alternative forms of redistribution into productive conversation with each other. While grounded in the complex realities of South Africa's past and present, the volume speaks to concerns that resonate in many contexts in the Global South and beyond. It will appeal to scholars, students, policymakers and general readers concerned with both the theory and practice of redistributive justice. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
