The new worldwide wave of democratization can be useful to understanding the dynamics of South Africa’s transition to democracy; argues that the breakup of CODESA “was a good thing”: the issue of violence began to enjoy focused attention, many other forums focused more specific attention on developmental issues critically important for transition and the style of negotiation between leaders and groups changed significantly; three interrelated problems have to be resolved to guarantee success - stability, legitimacy and development.
