Globalization And The New World Order

Globalization presents a paradox in light of the tendency toward regionalization in world trade and investment, and the emergence of the three economic super blocs—the Asia-Pacific Rim, North America, and the European Economic Community. The Third World countries and regions in Africa, Latin America, and elsewhere are left out of the action. This work states the fundamental problems that face Africa, draws the attention of the world policy makers to the problems, and proposes answers and solutions.

This book focuses on Africans concerned with globalization, the tendency toward regionalization in world trade and investment, and the emergence of the Asia-Pacific Rim, North America, and the European Economic community as economic super blocs.

A dozen studies explore a number of concepts and remind policy makers, development experts, prospective investors, and others in Western Europe, North America, and East Asia that Africa is part of the planet they intend to globalize. They cover the African political economy in terms of globalization and marginalization, technology and new environmental ethics leading to a sustainable development, regional cooperation and economic integration in response to globalization, and policy options.
