I think Phase II of globalization has already started doing wonders for Africa. Let me explain. I see phase I as the period spanning 1980 to 1995, this is when globalization was mainly the purview of the Western industrialized world i.e. their mobile capital and competitive efficiencies allowed them to spread worldwide, establishing their brands in new countries, overwhelming domestic competition who were faced with either coopting the status quo or disappearing over night.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Phase II of Globalization is upon us, enter the emerging economies in Asia, Latin America and Middle East. These countries are reaping the benefits of globalization because 1) they figured how to carve a niche for themselves in the global production chain 2) they made their domestic economies more productive and efficient thus attracting global capital, technology and expertise 3) they started small but dreamed big, in other words they took advantage of similar markets and resources i.e. regional economic blocks to develop robust domestic investment that would be the foundation for global trade e.g. Tata first perfected its industries in India and Southeast Asia before it went after global brands like Range Rover.....&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Africa benefits greatly from this new dynamic because:&lt;BR/&gt;1) it has similar markets and resources to the emerging economies hence is seen as both A MARKET (perhaps the first time in its history) AS WELL AS A PRODUCE BASE.&lt;BR/&gt;2) emerging economies now command a large chunk of global capital, and because the landscape in Africa is similar to their own they are not afraid of investing heavily&lt;BR/&gt;3) MOST IMPORTANTLY, the economic growth of emerging economies IS DEPENDENT ON AFRICA TO SURVIVE.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The most progressive economies in Africa, yes including Ghana are those that fully understand these three points and their implications. The issue for Africans in terms of economic policy is this:&lt;BR/&gt;1) how to ensure that as a PRODUCER BASE we are not relegated to primary commodities, VALUE ADDITION TO OUR RESOURCE BASE is paramount. Related to this, we have to make sure that emerging economies subsidize the necessary infrastructure and technology development that will create value addition IN EXCHANGE for market access. Getting something for nothing goes both ways, both sides must have an equal exchange especially Africa (we can't expect the Chinese to build roads out of the goodness of their hearts)&lt;BR/&gt;2) Ensuring that our domestic economies are conducive for investment especially domestic/foreign investment partnerships&lt;BR/&gt;3) They need us to maintain their 10% growth......milk that for all its worth!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;P.S. I help run a company in Ghana, www.atrams.com, we would not be in existence if it were not for globalization......and we definitely believe that we are adding to Ghana's bottom line.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5732387874349670989/8943552452400850867/comments/default/6561229202820370932'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5732387874349670989/8943552452400850867/comments/default/6561229202820370932'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.mskpetigo.com/2008/04/globalisation-challenges.html?showComment=1207589160000#c6561229202820370932' title=''/><author><name>Sijui</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.mskpetigo.com/2008/04/globalisation-challenges.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732387874349670989.post-8943552452400850867' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5732387874349670989/posts/default/8943552452400850867' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732387874349670989.post-4720847787472449282</id><published>2008-04-03T23:32:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-04-03T23:32:00.000+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Nice post!
