On Globalization
This paper is divided into three sections. The first part deals with the salient themes and features of globalisation: its meanings, flaws and contradictions. The second part involves critical examination of the practice of global power and democratic discourse. Finally, conclusions are drawn on the fate of African people and their struggles for survival in the face of global agendas.
