Overview

Africa and the New World Order examines the role of Africa in the emerging complex and competitive global division of labor. Anchored on a dialectical discussion of Africa’s historical experience, this study examines postcolonial realignment of economic and political forces, the debt crisis, human rights, the crisis of regionalism, and the constraints to democratic transitions and consolidation. It also provides a detailed discussion of Africa and the current globalization process.
