与世界其他地区相比 ,全球化对非洲的冲击更明显。对非洲而言 ,全球化实质上就是西方式的政治民主化和经济自由化。在非洲的全球化进程中 ,西方因素起着重要的作用。西方发达国家及其所掌握的国际机构利用“援助”力压非洲国家在政治、经济诸方面作出符合西方意愿的“改革”。在政治方面 ,西方的压与诱是促使非洲政治民主化的主要外部原因 ,然而 ,一旦非洲国家实行了政治民主化 ,却不一定能够得到援助 ,在非洲 ,西方式的政治变革常常是不受欢迎的。在经济方面 ,由于西方国家规定的改革模式收效不佳 ,也招致非洲国家反对。非洲的全球化反对者寄希望于联合国的帮助及非洲区域政治经济的振兴 Compared with the rest of the world, the impact of globalization on Africa is even more pronounced. For Africa, globalization is essentially Western-style political democratization and economic liberalization. Western elements play an important role in Africa’s globalization. The developed countries in Western countries and the international agencies in their possession use “aid” to force African countries to make “reforms” in the political and economic fields in line with the will of the West. On the political front, pressure and lure in the West are the main external reasons for the democratization of African politics. However, once the African countries have implemented political democratization, they may not be able to receive assistance. In Western Africa, political changes are often not tolerated welcome. On the economic front, the opposition from African countries has also been drawn to the ineffectiveness of the mode of reform stipulated by the Western countries.
