GLOBAL PARTNERS FOR LOCAL INITIATIVES: NEPAD IN THE ERA OF GLOBALISATION
Abstract
The “New partnership for Africa’s development” (NEPAD) document is one of the most tangible outcomes of the African renaissance idea. It is a timely document that responds, among others, to the threat of economic globalisation. This essay relates to the NEPAD initiative to economic globalisation in the context of a post-welfare state era. NEPAD is akin to the new new-regionalism model which proposes to obviate the negative effects of economic globalisation. Examples are given from the NEPAD document. Some challenges facing NEPAD are discussed. The main points of critique expressed against NEPAD – especially from the side of the South African Council of Churches (SACC) – are dealt with.Downloads
