Abstract

Globalisation is one of the leading characteristics of the world today – a world that is striving for development, democracy and the protection of human rights. There is no doubt that the relationship between globalisation and democracy is quite complex. So too is the relationship between globalisation and development. The impact of globalisation is perhaps more prominent on the African continent than elsewhere in the world. This is due to the unique circumstances and challenges that African countries have faced in the recent past and continue to face. Such challenges include poverty, hunger, armed conflicts, poor governance, crime, corruption, unemployment, low levels of education, lack of skills and resources, and the prevalence of diseases such as HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. Besides reflecting on the impact of globalisation on development and democracy, this article explores the tensions and contradictions that arise out of the relationship between these concepts. It also highlights the peculiar challenges that underlie and further complicate this relationship in African countries.
全球化时代的民主与发展
全球化是当今世界的主要特征之一,当今世界正在努力争取发展、民主和保护人权。毫无疑问,全球化与民主之间的关系相当复杂。全球化与发展之间的关系也是如此。全球化对非洲大陆的影响可能比世界其他地方更为突出。这是由于非洲国家在最近过去和继续面临的独特情况和挑战。这些挑战包括贫穷、饥饿、武装冲突、治理不善、犯罪、腐败、失业、教育水平低、缺乏技能和资源,以及艾滋病毒/艾滋病、疟疾和结核病等疾病的流行。除了反思全球化对发展和民主的影响外,本文还探讨了这些概念之间的关系所产生的紧张和矛盾。它还突出了在非洲国家中构成这种关系基础并使其进一步复杂化的特殊挑战。
