<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>An incisive analysis of South Africa's ANC power-as party, as government, as state</b> <p/>South Africa's African National Congress (ANC) is in decline, its hegemony has been weakened, its legitimacy diluted. President Cyril Ramaphosa's appointment suspended the ANC's electoral decline, it also heightened internal tensions between those who would deepen its acquired status as corrupt and captured, and those who would remodel it as redeemable. These are the incontrovertible knowns of South African politics; what will evolve from this is less certain. <p/>In <i>Precarious Power</i>, renowned political scientist Susan Booysen uses in-depth research and analysis to distill that which is bound to shape South Africa's political future, Booysen focuses on contradictory party politics and internal ANC dissent that is veiled for the sake of retaining an electoral following. Also exposed is the incongruous, populist policy-making, protest politics and the use of soft law to ensure it does not alienate angry citizens, fueling further discontent and protest. The ANC's power has become exceedingly precarious. <i>Precarious Power</i> is the name of the political game, for the foreseeable future. <p/>The comprehensive analysis in <i>Precarious Power</i> will appeal not only to political scientists and postgraduate students, but to all who take a keen interest in current affairs.</p>
