Thoughtful and original...This well-argued books makes a
substantial contribution to our understanding of the new--and not
so new--dynamics that are currently being played out in Africa. It
has important implications for all observers of Africa's politics
and international relations.--Ian Taylor ""An innovative and
provocative book ...wide ranging and engaging, it offers a fresh
and challenging interpretation of key issues of concern in
contemporary Africa.""--Marcus Power. Is globalization good for
Africa? Padraig Carmody explores the evolving nature and impact of
globalization throughout the continent, as China, the US, and other
economic powers exert their influence.Drawing especially on the
cases of Chad, Sudan, and Zambia, Carmody considers whether the
resource curse that has for so long plagued Africa can become a
blessing. He also evaluates the impact of the information
technology revolution and the recent global economic slowdown. In
the context of carefully articulated historical dynamics, he
provocatively assesses the new role of Africa in the global
economy.
