South Africa and Global Apartheid

"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 commodification via globalisation but on decommodification and deglobalisation, and the strategies, tactics and alliances required for African and international progress."--BOOK JACKET

First sentence: The most intractable problem that contemporary Africa faces, 'global apartheid,' was posed as follows by Thabo Mbeki in his address to the Welcoming Ceremony for the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in August 2002: We have all converged at the Cradle of Humanity to confront the social behaviour that has pity neither for beautiful nature nor for living human beings.
