South Africa and Global Apartheid: Continental and International Policies and Politics

Abstract

This study covers a variety of political and economic aspects of Africa's and South Africa's relationships to the world. The author considers the context of global apartheid, in terms of international stagnation, uneven development and African marginalisation, and evaluates the South African setting as a telling site of worsening inequality. Where does then the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) stand on the largest economic and political problems & South Africa's other proposed global reforms are also discussed. Finally, the author records an emerging ideology based not on co-modification via globalization but on decommodification and globalization but on demmodification and deglobalisation, and the strategies, tactics and alliance required for African and international progress.
