あらすじ・解説
Now, this is a story about how borders are central parts of a country and not periphery in the true sense. Prof Nugent relates how urbanization in border towns like Aflao in Ghana can march that of much regional capital in countries. Unfortunately, land borders do not see the same attention in terms of road infrastructure, computerization of immigration and customs processes and the border post. He makes an example of how South Africa wine has huge market potential in Africa yet producers look west and east.
Paul Nugent, Professor of Comparative African History & African Studies at the University of Edinburgh, UK.
