Guest: Lebogang Pheko - Senior Research Fellow at Trade Collective and also Policy and Economic analyst.Guest: Ebrahim Fakir –Political Analyst Nation-building is a normative concept that means different things to different people. The latest conceptualization is essentially that nation-building programs are those in which dysfunctional or unstable or "failed states" or economies are given assistance in the development of governmental infrastructure, civil society, dispute resolution mechanisms, as well as economic assistance, in order to increase stability. Nation-building generally assumes that someone or something is doing the building intentionally.
