This is a collection of papers presented in the workshop organised by the Netherlands Development Assistance Research Council (RAWOO) and Research on Poverty Alleviation (REPOA). It presents perspectives from economists, lawyers, environmentalists, an engineer,
a sociologist/journalist, and an educationist/dramatist.
The convergence of participants’ views was the conclusion that “Africa is being marginalised as it is catapulted into the global village” and that the quest for strategies to address and minimise the negative impacts of gobalisation must be given highest priority.
