The first comprehensive work on globalization within the context of
sustainable development initiatives in Africa. Few studies of
globalization have analyzed its impact on African societies from
the viewpoint of sustainable development. This volume answers that
need. The essays here contribute to the store of knowledge about
globalization in sub-Saharan Africa by documenting the affect of
this global force on the continent's growth -- economic, political,
and cultural. This interdisciplinary collection provides
comprehensive analyses at the international, national, andlocal
levels of the theoretical issues revolving around the complex
process of globalization, while offering detailed examinations of
new models of economic development that can be implemented in
sub-Saharan Africa to enhance economic growth, self-sufficiency,
and sustainable development. These models are accessible to
politicians, public policy analysts, scholars, students,
international organizations, nongovernmental actors, and members of
the public atlarge. Finally, the essays here provide insightful
case studies of African countries that already demonstrate
creative, indigenous-based models of entrepreneurship and discuss
efforts to achieve sustainable development and economic
independence at the grassroots level. Contributors represent the
disciplines of law, history, political science, economics,
sociology, anthropology, business and management, African studies
and art history, criminal justice, and education. Bessie
