Federalism in South Africa

Pages 66-83 | Published online: 24 Feb 2007
 

ABSTRACT

A contingency model for constitutional development in South Africa is presented. Federalism is superior to unitarism in resolving South Africa's constitutional dilemma. However, neither federation nor confederation are considered appropriate. A third form of federalism is developed from the model which is termed “cofederation”. It combines characteristics of both federation and confederation in a hybrid interstate‐intrastate dispensation.
