Riassunto

Neoliberal writers have frequently ascribed Africa's development problems to a failure to fully integrate with fundamentally new and benevolent processes of globalization. Nonsense, declares Rugumamu (development studies, U. of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania), arguing that globalization retains the same internal logic of capitalism, with its production for profits, tendency of capital toward concentration, alienation and exploitation of labor, centralization and outward expansion, and exploitation and domination of weak economies and societies and further contending that Africa is fully but asymmetrically integrated into the global capitalist system. He also argues that the forces of globalization and neoliberal democratization have undermined Africa's institutional and organizational capacity to come up with its own emancipatory development strategies.
