IRPG855: Globalisation and the North-South Relationship

Globalisation poses special challenges for African development and state-building. The history of African states has been very turbulent in the postcolonial period: in many, the capacity of the state to govern has been questioned. This unit examines globalisation and development debates, focusing on South Africa's relations with Africa and the rest of the world.
