Globalization and the Seduction of Africa's Ruling Class: An Argument for a New Philosophy of Development

AUTHOR Frindthi, K. Martial; Frindethie, K. Martial
PUBLISHER McFarland & Company (08/31/2010)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description

Assessing development thinking from a multidisciplinary perspective, this work argues that Africa is undeveloped not in spite of globalization, but precisely because of globalization's saintly mission of unbridled liberalization and Euro-American teleology, which has reduced the African governing class to a body of abandonment-neurotics, co-conspirators in the First World's human and economic genocides. The work suggests subsequently that, provided Africans remain impervious to the anti-Asian agitation which is sweeping the Euro-American world today, they have invaluable lessons in standpoint development to learn from India's and China's experiences with liberalism as well as constructive alliances to establish with these emerging transitional nations.
