At the seminar, Dr. Shangase talked about exercise of state autonomy to achieve macro-economic stability and effect incremental policy change in South Africa between 1994 and 2014. He explained the movement of South Africa in this period by using the three elements comprising conjunctual state autonomy: the historical context, the prevailing neoliberal paradigm, as well as a professional bureaucracy.
