They saw from the Korea's two crises how contrasting outcomes could result…

Burger, Rulof; Woolard, Ingrid – Journal of Vocational Education and Training, 2005
While the political transition to democratic rule in South Africa was smooth and rapid, the economic transition has been slow and difficult. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the labour market.
