Beschreibung:
This book critically examines the impact of globalization on development, security, and the environment in Africa. It assesses multiple fronts of crises unleashed by globalization: development and governance, peace and security, and environment and sustainability. This edited volume also identifies and discusses the challenges and opportunities that globalization poses to African states and societies.
This book presents critical perspectives on the impacts of globalization in Africa with particular reference to the crisis of development and governance, the crisis of peace and security, and the environmental crisis. It explores both global and local factors that exacerbate these crises, and seeks solutions to these challenges. With a strong slant on African experience and perspectives, the book reveals that globalization has presented Africa with both challenges and opportunities for governance and existence in an increasingly inter-connected planet.
