Arguing that Western/Northern globalization discourse has largely neglected Africa, the meanings of globalization for Africa & African intellectuals are explored. A historical overview is presented of Africa's long -- & largely unhappy -- experience with globalization, distinguishing four key episodes: slavery, colonialism, independence, & postcolonialism. At each of these junctures, Africa became more integrated into global political, cultural, & economic networks, though globalization was intricately woven with racial ideologies. African responses to globalization are also examined, suggesting that these have essentially entailed (1) a response to racism, & (2) a discussion of the state & its relationship to global forces. Ways that African intellectuals have drawn on ideologies borrowed from Europe & the US, circulated through global networks, in formulating responses to globalization are described, & a call is made for the incorporation of a more uniquely African perspective, not mere repetition of Western "transitional narratives.".

Notes that the globalization process, formerly dominated by international trade and investment, is largely borne today by the reduction in the costs of information and communication processing, which altogether with the accumulation of knowledge and experience, deeply transforms the contest for international transactions. Considers how this fast-paced process raises some fundamental policy challenges, especially at the international level. (Original abstract - amended)

This book focuses on the 'new globalization', the most expansive and technologically advanced of all the phases of globalization. It identifies and discusses many of the frontier issues in Africa that are being impacted by the dynamics of this new globalization - debt, human rights, development, state sovereignty, the environment, and the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

Using a world systems approach this book examines how globalization is experienced around the world and compares its intensity and impact in industrialized countries and developing countries, focusing on economic growth, technological diffusion, debt, North-South conflict, democratisation and globalization.

An examination of how women's work is influenced by globalization & how gendered global labor networks are established. The author argues that analysis of the major trends of the most recent period of globalization & the gender dimensions is important to effectively address the abuses of women face. Examination of the latest wave of globalization that began in the 1960s identifies the complementary micro & macro trends of the gendered effects of globalization. Macroanalysis of causal links between the spread of multinational corporations into different areas of the world, & the use of structural adjustment policies is related to increases in women's participation in the informal sector. Microanalysis of the three gendered sectors of sex work, domestic labor, & export oriented production mind the similarities in the wide range of risks, low wages, no benefits, long hours, lack of security, and lack of rights. A multilevel analysis addresses the increased reliance on markets globally & the widespread adoption of the export oriented development strategy, as well as the unlikeliness of governments to pay attention to the concerns of women workers. These clear analytical linkages between the dimensions of globalization & women's presence in gendered labor networks supports the author's recommendations, & a call to fundamentally reconsider the usefulness of current institutions & determine whether they can be transformed or with a new ones are needed.
