The debate over the question of the sustainability of development has been for some time underway in relation to the environment and to public health. More recently attention has turned to other aspects of sustainability as well, now that a generally accepted meaning of the term has been reached which defines it as the sum total of policies for satisfying the needs of the present generation without compromising the capacity of future generations to satisfy their own needs. Within this broader context the role of public administration is obvious. One of the key questions that this volume has attempted to provide an answer is: can the European vision hold true in the same terms for Italy as well? - The debate over the question of the sustainability of development has been for some time underway in relation to the environment and to public health.

NEPAD, New Partnership for Africa's Development, is a plan for the development of the African continent, formally adopted by the OAU in Jul 2001. This framework is a promise made by African leaders to eradicate poverty & to place African countries on a path of sustainable growth. Globalization has put African countries at great risk since it penalizes poor & underdeveloped countries, but it has also offered a series of opportunities that world leaders cannot afford to ignore. First & foremost the delocalization of productive processes could favor the African economy, also igniting interesting investment opportunities. NEPAD is the vision that Africa needs to adapt its own development to globalization standards. 1 Appendix. M. Williamson
