apartheid

Declared sense and comparison

Record the definition adopted, its proponents and whether historical comparison is illustrative or supplies classification criteria.

1. Does apartheid here name the South African historical regime or a category intended to apply across societies? definition
2. Which scholars or institutions support the adopted definition, and which features do competing definitions require? provenance

Legal elements and status

Record the selected instrument, its applicable requirements and whether the assessment concerns state obligations, individual criminal responsibility or another legal question.

1. Which instrument and interpretation govern this assessment, and what acts, contextual conditions and intent must be established? definition
2. Who made the legal assessment, with what jurisdiction or mandate, and is it an allegation, expert opinion or adjudicated determination? provenance

Membership and racialisation

Record who assigns membership, whether it can be challenged and how legal or social categories become racialised.

1. How are the relevant groups identified, and what evidence establishes racialisation in this setting? definition
2. Who assigns or reviews group membership, and which rights or restrictions follow from that assignment? measurement

Control and exclusion

Map formal and effective authority, including arrangements that offer nominal representation while withholding consequential power.

1. Which groups control legislation, coercive institutions and access to effective political participation? measurement
2. Can subordinated populations meaningfully alter the institutions governing them, including through any nominally autonomous authorities? boundary

Spatial control

Record territorial fragmentation, displacement, residence restrictions and movement controls where evidenced.

1. Which rules determine where each group may live, own or use land, travel and return? measurement
2. How do territorial arrangements and movement permissions contribute to domination rather than merely geographic separation? boundary

Linked opportunity restrictions

Trace connections among employment, education, public provision and family restrictions without presuming every disparity has the same cause.

1. Which employment, schooling, service or family rules differ by group, and how are those differences enforced? measurement
2. How do these rules interact with spatial and political restrictions to reproduce subordination across generations? boundary

Coercive practices

Record evidenced detention, forced removal, violence and other alleged qualifying acts with their institutional connections.

1. What coercive acts are documented, against whom, and through which orders, policies or recurring practices? provenance
2. What evidence connects these acts to maintaining racial domination, and which requirements of the selected framework do they address? boundary

Maintenance intent and repression

Distinguish stated objectives, inferred purposes and observable responses to opposition, while testing competing explanations.

1. Which statements, institutional designs or policy patterns support an intent to maintain domination, and what evidence challenges that inference? provenance
2. How are challenges to racial hierarchy treated, and does the pattern distinguish defence of that hierarchy from broader political repression? boundary

Criterion-linked assessment

Record support and uncertainty separately for each requirement rather than collapsing them into a single confidence score.

1. For each classification criterion, which sources support or contradict it, and what populations, territories and dates do they cover? provenance
2. Do disagreements concern facts, racial group identification, intent, territorial scope or the definition being applied? boundary

Substantive institutional change

Assess whether reforms remove racial classification consequences, unequal political control and coercive restrictions in practice.

1. Which reforms have changed effective political power, movement, residence and access to resources, and for which groups? measurement
2. What additional evidence or institutional changes would justify revising the assessment from an operating system to a dismantled system with persistent effects? action
