"THE RISE OF THE SECUROCRATS: THE CASE OF SOUTH AFRICA" BY JANE DUNCAN. SOFTCOVER, 332 PAGES, NO INSCRIPTIONS OR NAMES, IN GOOD CONDITION.

"The South African government stands accused of having fallen under the sway of the securocrats. Who, or what, are they? Securocrats are officials located in the security establishment - the police, intelligence services or the military - that have the power to influence government policy in their favour. When securocrats come to dominate government decisionmaking, the democratic life of a country can be threatened. In The Rise of the Securocrats, Professor Duncan throws a spotlight on the hidden corners, murky bureacracies and power grab that is currently under way."
