Chapter I: Introduction: Historical Antecedents Behind Remarkable Variance in Welfare Policy Outcomes in South Africa and Mauritius -- Chapter II: SA Tale of Two Countries: Theoretical and Analytical Framework in Comparative Social Inquiry -- Chapter III: Research Design: South Africa and Mauritius in a Macro-causal Social Inquiry -- Chapter IV: State-Building and the Making of the Racially 'Exclusive' Welfare State in South Africa -- Chapter V: State-Building and the Emergence of a Social Democratic Consensus in Colonial Mauritius, 1598 to 1968 -- Chapter VI: Retaining the Social Democratic Welfare Consensus in Post-Colonial Mauritius, 1968 - present -- Chapter VII: State (Re)-Building and Welfare State Development in Post-Apartheid South Africa -- Chapter VIII: Welfare Paradigms of South Africa and Mauritius: Reflections and Prospects for Future Research.

This study traces the welfare regimes of Mauritius and South Africa from the early 20th century focusing on the historical circumstances that gave rise to the dominance of state-funded old-age pensions within their respective welfare frameworks. It highlights intersections between powerful business interests, the state, and social forces that sowed the seeds of social entitlements. Due to different mobilisation efforts of these social actors, both countries have spawned welfare regimes of different persuasions. Mauritius has maintained its long-standing traditions as a social democracy stretching back to the late 1950s, while South Africa continues relentlessly in pursuit of a liberal welfare state, a journey it has treaded since 1928 when the old-age pension laws first came into effect. While unravelling the innermost workings of welfare state development in Mauritius and South Africa, it also probes the present political and economic circumstances that have kept these two welfare regimes resolutely unchanged. Against this backdrop, it draws parallels between current welfare outcomes and those of old as they continue to chart their way into the future. Elias Phaahla, Ph.D. taught at the University of Cape Town (UCT) before joining University of Johannesburg where he is Associate Professor of Politics and International Relations. His main research interests include, but not limited to, the politics of welfare reform with particular focus placed on the old-age pension schemes of Mauritius and South Africa. This work was made possible through the support of the National Research Foundation (NRF)
