Globalization and Africa: How Lost and Marginal is Africa's World Economy Region in the Period of Globalization
Original language description
Current Africa is one of the most inconsistent world economy regions. Lots of its countries have faced rapid economic growth since the beginning of 2000s (measured with the growth of GDP). But at the same time it is region of 34 least developed countriesand most of its inhabitants live in the poorest living conditions in the world. Economic studies show that present rapid economic growth is not sustainable because of many reasons, especially due to dependent on primary economic sector and insufficientstructural reforms. Also political instability makes barriers for future prosperity of African region. The aim of the paper is to evaluate position of Africa in the globalized world economy in the last decade 2003-2013 with respect to its main economic and social consequences. The paper would like to say whether Africa (not only its economy but also its population) gains or losses in the process of globalization.
