Book Description:

The G8 represents the major political driver of contemporary globalisation. It is also the most powerful political force behind the multilateral institutions that are shaping global economic practice and governance. This book's focus on Africa reflects the fact that Africa has been more exposed than any other continent to the forces of market liberalisation, and yet has benefited least from the presumed gains of market liberalisation.
