La répartition des compétences entre l'État central, l'État provincial et les municipalités :  structures politiques ou administratives? 

 - Paris :  IIAP,  janv./mars 1998 
<br/><br/> It is not easy to put a name to the structure adopted by South Africa in 1996. It is neither a federal state nor a unitary state. The distribution of competences differs markedly in reality when compared with the formal distribution. The Constitution contains a list of exclusive competences, but these are not the most important. Analysis must focus rather on shared competences, the distribution of which will depend upon the administration's capacitites, particularly those of a financial nature, in the face of the needs generated by these new competences
