| Apartheid - Economics Dictionary of Arguments | |||
| Apartheid: Apartheid was a system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination in South Africa from 1948 to the early 1990s. It legally enforced the dominance of the white minority over other racial groups, restricting their rights, movement, and access to resources. Apartheid ended through a negotiated transition to democracy, culminating in the 1994 election of Nelson Mandela. In a broader sense, apartheid refers to any system of institutionalized racial or social segregation and discrimination. The term describes situations where one group maintains dominance over another through laws, policies, or practices that enforce separation, unequal rights, and limited access to resources or political power. See also Discrimination, Racism._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
