Trade Liberalisation and Globalisation From an African Country Perspective

Globalization is increasing the integration of national markets and the interdependence of countries worldwide. This essay argues for and against trade liberalisation and globalisation from an African country perspective. The essay is divided into four sections. The first section attempts to provide a brief history of trade liberalisation and globalisation. The second section discusses three merits while the third section discusses two demerits of trade liberalisation on African countries. In the fourth section, the essay proposes two measures that will enhance the position of African countries on trade liberalisation and globalisation and provides a viable conclusion.
