ABSTRACT |
|
The set of three volumes of 30 readings entitled Globalization and Development is edited by Professor Shigeru Thomas Otsubo, Nagoya University, Japan who has a rich experience with the subject both as an official of the United Nations and the World Bank, and as a scholar. The set is a product of a four-year long Japanese project which included contributors mainly from Japan, South-East Asia and Africa. The purpose of this set is to contribute to the never-ending discussion about the relation between globalisation and development from an Asian and African vantage point. A specific feature of those readings is that it includes contributions from authors that are on the spot and that have a first-hand experience about the opportunities, challenges, impact and prospects of globalisation and development in South-East Asia and Africa. |
