The CA is discussed only in a brief postscript in Spitz and Chaskalson (2000), and they do not elaborate on the political dynamic. The exception is the volume by Hassen Ebrahim (1998) in which he details the South African constitutional development during the 20th century, however without a coherent analytical approach. See,

This article is an edited and shortened version of the fifth chapter of my PhD thesis in Political Science presented at the Department of Government at Uppsala University, Sweden, in May 2000. The thesis is a rational-choice interpretation of the whole of the constitution-making process. Arguments are made as to how the process and the various agreements were shaped by the logic of the strategic interaction over what should be the balance between majoritarian democracy and constitutionalism in the constitution for a democratic South Africa.

- The new commission was thus a consequence of the 34th constitutional principle that had been the crucial concession to the right wing prior to elections in April 1994. The minutes from the Constitutional Committee meeting reflect the importance awarded to the agreement by all parties. The minutes note delegates referring to the agreement as an 'enormous breakthrough' and to the meeting as a 'historic moment': 'General. Viljoen of the FF thanked other parties for their cooperation and for this historic occasion which ensured cultural promotion and self-determination through the recognition of group rights and a cultural commission'; Minutes of the 38th meeting of the Constitutional Committee, 18-19 April 1996, paragraph 13, at 13.5.
