The Politics of Globalization in Tanzania: A Dialectical Perspective

Huruma L. Sigalla

Abstract


This paper discusses how globalization has shaped the world political landscape, international politics, and Tanzanian political debates. Its main argument is that although globalization is not a new phenomenon, it has brought undeniable and notable changes to the world and to Tanzania.  This article explores the subtle relationship between politics and the economy as well as social change such as the new emerging political culture in Tanzania.
