Project summary
The Southern Centre for Inequality Studies (SCIS) – with support from the Open Society Foundation – is preparing a survey of black economic empowerment policy in South Africa. Whilst most agree that progress with empowerment policy has been limited, there remains no clear framework for monitoring progress or evaluating outcomes.
The Role of Competition Policy in B-BBEEThis webinar, hosted by SCIS in collaboration with MISTRA, interrogates how competition policy in the case of broad-based black economic empowerment (B-BBEE) can decrease market dominance using the recent ‘Burger King Deal’ as a case study.
Black Empowerment, affirmative action and the racist economyThe webinar explores the comparative experiences of South Africa, Malaysia, and the United States as they approach the struggle for racial and caste equity in different ways.
Returns to a Broader Base?The webinar explores whether trusts, broad-based ownership structures (BBOs), and employee share ownership schemes (ESOPs) can contribute to the development objectives of the B-BBEE framework.
