Habibul Haque Khondker; Ulrike Schuerkens

In summarizing the developments in the field of sociology of development, this article synthesizes various theoretical strands such as modernization theories, dependency and world- systems theories, and globalization and multiple modernity theories.

Nach weitverbreiteter Ansicht war die Entwicklung der letzten Jahre in Sudafrika eine Revolution, vergleichbar der grosen franzosischen: Durchsetzung der gleichen Staatsburgerrechte fur alle. Die Parallelen sind auch in weniger auffalligen Bereichen zu finden. In beiden Revolutionen war es das „ancien regime“, das durch eine „Offensive“ der Reformen die eigentliche Revolution einleitete. Fur Frankreich hat Tocqueville (1969) gezeigt, wie das „ancien regime“ mit seinem Reformeifer eine wichtige Triebkraft der Revolution wurde. Fur Sudafrika zeigen Adam und Moodley (1993 — dieses Buch bildet die Grundlage meines Beitrags), das es die konservative Nationale Partei (NP) war, die — auf Basis von Reformen, welche der Erkenntnis entsprangen, das die Apartheid aus intrasystemischen Grunden immer schwerer zu halten war — in die „Verhandlungsoffensive“ ging und damit die Revolution startete.
