Article Abstract:
This article discusses the problems of neoliberal globalization in Africa, which includes the process of primitive accumulation, nation-state building, and democratization. The author examines the process of accumulation in Zimbabwe, the war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in which nation-state formation is the root, and the democratization of South Africa, concluding Africa's challenges in achieving modernity are almost impossible to overcome.
