Purpose: The study sought to investigate the impact of globalization on the intensification of economic, political, social and cultural relations in Africa.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The study concluded that more than that globalization is often seen by its proponents as facilitating a new idealism of economic openness, political transparency, and global culture. Globalization provides an opportunity for the advancement of common human standards and equality as norms and rules are channeled throughout the world.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study was informed by globalization theories on the with the focus on the hyperglobalist approach, the sceptical approach and the transformational approach on globalization, future studies could benefit from this theory especially in other research context. This study will be insightful to researchers as it articulates the impact of globalization on the intensification of economic, political, social and cultural relations in Africa.
