Globalization, Democracy, and Development in Africa: Challenges and Prospects.
OSSREA, Addis Ababa. 2001. xv + 379p.
Compilation
of papers presented at the 6th Congress of OSSREA held in Dar es
Salaam, Tanzania under a broad theme: Globalization, Democracy, and
Development in Africa: Future Prospects. The papers have been grouped into
three major parts on the bases of the specific emphases in the papers, namely: Political
and Socio-economic issues; Environmental Issues; Cultural, Educational and
Gender Issues. The contributors believe that economic, social, cultural and
political aspects of globalization in Eastern and Southern Africa need to be
addressed. These would have a significant contribution in narrowing down the gap
of the current understanding of globalization in general and in the context of
Africa in particular.
