Résumé L'industrie automobile est l'exemple emblématique des branches industrielles où la production est fragmentée au sein des chaînes de valeur mondiales. En Afrique, c'est l'Afrique du Sud qui toujours à la tête des pays producteurs de l'automobile. Plusieurs acteurs de renommée mondiale sont présents sur son marché, constituant des clusters performants et interconnectés avec des réseaux mondiaux de production. L'objectif de cet article est d'examiner l'intégration de l'industrie automobile sud-africaine dans les chaînes de valeur mondiales de l'automobile. Dans ce cadre, nous avons menée une analyse de certains indicateurs clés de cette intégration à savoir, les performances de la production et les échanges extérieurs en produits automobiles (véhicules et composants), ainsi que le rôle de l'Etat pour promouvoir cette intégration. À l'issu de ces analyses, il apparait que l'automobile sud-africaine est bien intégrée dans ces chaînes, mais elle confronte des défis pour consolider cette intégration. Mots clés : industrie automobile, chaînes de valeur mondiales, Afrique du Sud Abstract The automotive industry is an emblematic example of industries where production is fragmented within global value chains. In Africa, South Africa continues to lead the way in automotive production. Several world-class players are present in its market, forming efficient clusters that are interconnected with global production networks. The objective of this paper is to examine the integration of the South African automotive industry into global automotive value chains. Within this framework, we have conducted an analysis of some key indicators of this integration, namely, production performance and foreign trade in automotive products (vehicles and components), as well as the role of the state in promoting this integration. From these analyses, it appears that the South African automotive industry is well integrated into these chains, but it faces challenges in raising this integration.

Abstract: This article presents a brief review of recent work by economists studying the effects of democracy on economic growth. These studies are divided into three groups: the first one supports the general view that democracy has a positive effect on economic growth; democratic regimes increase the level of GDP by creating the climate of trust, guaranteeing the protection of property rights, as well as reducing transaction costs, while dictatorship regimes strongly hinder economic growth. The second group of researchers stipulated that non-democratic regimes would be more favorable to increasing economic growth. For the third research group, there is no significant relationship between the two variables. The common point of these studies, despite the absence of a consensus, is their insistence that the political regime matters for economic growth and development. Keywords: Economic growth - Democracy - Institutions
