Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This thesis was motivated by the desire to explore more equitable patterns of development in South Africa and how business could contribute to wider developmental goals. It focused specifically on the emerging wind sector in South Africa, drawing on the concept of community wind farms that have emerged in many other parts of the world such as England, Denmark and Canada.
