Globalization and Africa

Federick Cooper a former professor of history at the university of michigan talk about african history and their implication in the globalization. Globalization is a connection between different areas , in a sens of capital, commodities, or information. It is true that globalization exists but very difficult to explain connection between all this different part of the world. In order to understand those interconnections we have to go back to the beginning or to the placement moment of all this structures for the lumpiness. Thats right african history present few contrast of globalization but it can permit to understand their place in this unbalanced world. Economically many banks were touched by globalization. The fall of the Soviet Union and communist Chinese market bring more liberalism in capital movement to improve the world market; nowaday we can give the example of the ALENA which is a free exchange between american country.not only the economy but also the culture is affected. Because of peoples exposures to media, music and kinds of thing influence african people. It was in nineteen century the phenomenon has reached is peak; at the same time their is also people migration. Some movement permit a new ways of exercising power over people and commodities. But again, the question remain impossible to be find: whether the changing meaning over time of spatial linkages can be undestood in a better way than globalization. But the term globalization remains not clear and and disagree by some person who use it.
