Under the leadership of the governing African National Congress, the South African government has long touted the idea of becoming a developmental state as the country's ultimate response to rising unemployment, poverty and inequality. This idea aligns with the rapid economic growth and industrialization experienced by the East Asian developmental states through directing the state's administrative capacities, resources and policies towards attaining national developmental goals. Similarly, the National Development Plan pins South Africa's developmental state ambition on creating a capable developmental state and the formation of dynamic institutions capable of utilizing the state's administrative powers, resources and policies to pursue developmental goals. However, the country's state institutions, administrative capacities and resources have been challenged by the state capture debacle that shed light on the corrupt relationship between the political elite and the business elite. This article explores civil society's response to state capture and analyzes the impact of civil society's responses on South Africa's developmental state ambition. The article reveals that the state-society relations had a significant effect on fighting the state-business corrupt arrangement by mobilizing nationwide protests that solidified South Africa's emerging democratic developmental state framework embedded in state-society relations.

捕捉南非的发展状态：国家与社会的关系以及对国家捕捉的反应

在执政的非洲人国民大会的领导下，南非政府长期以来一直吹捧成为发展型国家的想法，作为该国应对不断上升的失业率、贫困和不平等的最终反应。这一理念与东亚发展型国家通过引导国家的行政能力、资源和政策实现国家发展目标所经历的快速经济增长和工业化相一致。同样，《国家发展计划》将南非的发展国家雄心定为创建一个有能力的发展国家，并形成能够利用国家行政权力、资源和政策来追求发展目标的充满活力的机构。然而，该国的国家机构，行政能力和资源受到国家捕获崩溃的挑战，这揭示了政治精英和商业精英之间的腐败关系。本文探讨了公民社会对国家俘获的反应，并分析了公民社会的反应对南非发展国家雄心的影响。文章揭示，国家与社会的关系通过动员全国性的抗议活动，巩固了嵌入国家与社会关系中的南非新兴的民主发展国家框架，对打击国家与企业的腐败安排产生了重大影响。s 对国家捕获的反应并分析民间社会的反应对南非发展国家雄心的影响。文章揭示，国家与社会的关系通过动员全国性的抗议活动，巩固了嵌入国家与社会关系中的南非新兴的民主发展国家框架，对打击国家与企业的腐败安排产生了重大影响。s 对国家捕获的反应并分析民间社会的反应对南非发展国家雄心的影响。文章揭示，国家与社会的关系通过动员全国性的抗议活动，巩固了嵌入国家与社会关系中的南非新兴的民主发展国家框架，对打击国家与企业的腐败安排产生了重大影响。
