Patrick Bond is a research associate with the Alternative Information and
Development Centre and Associate Professor at the University of the
Witwatersrand Graduate School of Public and Development Management,
Johannesburg.

The New Partnership for Africa's Development argues that if Africa's
"enormous potential and human resources are properly harnessed
and utilised, it could lead to equitable and sustainable growth of the
continent as well as enhance its rapid integration into the world economy."
As many of the contributions in this reader show, the evidence thus far is
that "equitable and sustainable growth" and Africa's "rapid integration into
the world economy" are increasingly counterposed. Scepticism about
corporate-driven globalisation is a thread running through the first round
of civil society critiques of Nepad. This book reproduces commentary from
major social movements, trade unions, progressive intellectuals and other
community leaders. It includes the original Nepad and a
paragraph-by-paragraph annotated critique.
