PUBLICATION GUIDELINES:
We ask contributors to submit two (2) typed copies, following the format (on
such issues as references and notes) of articles in this issue of
TRANSFORMATION. Whilst the journal will cater for work at any level of
abstraction, or detail, a number of criteria will guide the editors in selection of
material for inclusion. Articles should aim for academic rigour but also clarify
the political implications of the issues discussed. We are concerned not to
compete with other South African journals that may cover related ground but
in different ways — this will govern our selection principles. All articles will
be assessed anonymously by referees. Contributions should preferably not
exceed the following lengths:
Analytical articles: 7 000 words
Debates and review articles: 3 000 words
The views expressed in TRANSFORMATION do not necessarily reflect
those of the editors.

DEMOCRATISING ECONOMIC GROWTH:
ALTERNATIVE GROWTH MODELS FOR THE FUTURE                                 25
     After critically considering the different positions on models for
      economic growth in South Africa being urgently debated at the
      moment, STEPHEN GELB argues that dynamic development
     and greater equality need to be pursued as part of the same process
     and incorporated into a new kind of model.
A POLICY AGENDA FOR
POST-APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA                                              42
     Developing economic policy for the transition to a post-apartheid
     society will not be easy, argues RAPHIE KAPLINSKY. A
     critical grasp of existing forces in the economy and axvareness of
     what is possible in the world conjuncture may yield a path of
     growth through redistribution.

     MICHAEL DE KLERK assumes that the land question in
     South Africa can and must be resolved through reform that
     rigorously considers market constraints and production needs
     while assisting black small farmers.
AGRICULTURE:CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

     the current dispensation.
