Rousseau in Africa: Democracy in the Making
- Synopsis
- The philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau believed that a society that was allowed to elect a legitimate government was the best option of all, because if people were ruling themselves, they would surely act in each other’s best interest. This programme shows some of the ways South Africa changed when it became a democracy in 1994 and tests some of Rousseaus’s theories on human nature.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
