Book excerpt: What is sustainable development and how will it be managed in the emerging South African context? In this challenging and scholarly volume, more than 20 researchers offer informed responses to issues raised by South Africa's reconstruction and development programme. The Reconstruction and Development Programme (RPD) will not succeed unless the old-style public administration is transformed into a developmental, user-friendly and results-oriented management culture. This publication articulates a new theoretical and strategic basis for the dynamic linking of the public administration and development administration disciplines. Written for the entire range of role-players in the development community, these studies address the concerns of practitioners and policy-makers involved in economic, social and institutional change in South Africa.
