Why did whites in South Africa come to support the dismantling of the apartheid system that gave them a monopoly of political power? We use a reformulated version of symbolic politics to address this puzzle, showing that white attitudes toward political change were primarily driven by symbolic predispositions regarding race, ideology, party, and specific leaders, as well as various sorts of threat perceptions. Strong attachments to the National Party and de Klerk, low perceptions of threat, more tolerant racial attitudes, and more socially and politically liberal values increased the likelihood of whites supporting policies consistent with the ending of apartheid. We also find that assessments of the economy, both personal and national, have no influence on this attitude. We use South Africa’s Human Sciences Research Council data collected during the crucial 1991–1992 period.

舆论和种族隔离的结束

为什么南非的白人会支持废除种族隔离制度,让他们垄断政治权力?我们使用重新表述的象征政治来解决这个难题,表明白人对政治变革的态度主要是由关于种族、意识形态、政党和特定领导人的象征倾向以及各种威胁感知驱动的。对国家党和德克勒克的强烈依恋、对威胁的低认知、更宽容的种族态度以及在社会和政治上更加自由的价值观,增加了白人支持与结束种族隔离相一致的政策的可能性。我们还发现,个人和国家对经济的评估对这种态度没有影响。
