Is globalization good for Africa? Padraig Carmody explores the evolving nature and
impact of globalization throughout the continent, as China, the US, and other economic
powers exert their influence. Drawing especially on the cases of Chad, Sudan, and
Zambia, Carmody considers whether the resource curse that has for so long plagued
Africa can become a blessing. He also evaluates the impact of the information technology
revolution and the recent global economic slowdown. In the context of carefully articulated
historical dynamics, he provocatively assesses the new role of Africa in the global
economy
