Thesis (DPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 1981. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this dissertation is the development of an operational
analytical model to illustrate the possibility of successfully
resolving or managing conflict in plural societies by effectively
accommodating different geographically dispersed ethnic groups as
groups in democratic constitutional structures and processes in these
societies.
The few existing models or theories of this kind (i e pluralism, consociationalism,
corporatism, personalism/integral federalism) are either
too vague or too incomplete to operationalise effectively. The dynamic
resurgence of ethnicity across the world stresses the need for such a
workable model, especially in view of important prevailing misconceptions
about the nature of the phenomenon of "ethnicity" and its
implications for effective democratic conflict resolution in plural
societies. / INLEIDING: Die effektiewe demokratiese akkommodasie van verskillende geografies
verspreide etniese groepe in die staatkundige struktuur van 'n plurale
samelewing is 'n politieke doelwit wat dusver nog selde in die wêreld
verwesenlik kon word. Dit is dan ook die mees aktuele staatkundige
probleem in Suid-Afrika en vorm die fokus van hierdie studie.
