Globalization is defined in economic terms to mean flows of trade, foreign direct investment and finance, and liberalization of trade and investment policies. The impacts of globalization and information technology are examined in this text in terms of growth and productivity, poverty and income distribution, and employment. The experiences of Africa, East and Southeast Africa, South Asia and Latin America in the era of globalization are discussed. It is argued that benefits of freer trade and capital flows need to be managed carefully in order to minimize the costs and maximize gains.

Industry Reviews

'A timely and highly impressive contribution to the subject. The book is particularly recommended for its important analysis of the role of technological factors in globalization and its excellent discussion of the impact of globalization on poverty and income distribution in developing countries.' - Professor Ajit Singh, Cambridge University and Senior Fellow, Queens College
