Abstract
The historic Millennial Summit of the United Nations held during the first week of September with the hundred and fifty -odd world leaders assembled at New York adopted a wide-ranging declaration on some of the most impending problems that the global community face today. The central challenge, the Summit deliberated, was in ensuring that globalisation becomes a positive force. The leaders of the world underlined that, ‘’while globalisation offers great opportunities, at present its benefits are very unevenly shared, and its cost unevenly distributed.’’ A few questions could perhaps be raised. Is it possible for globalisation to be inclusive and equitable? Can globalisation reduce the poverty syndrome? Would the vision of the leaders assembled at the Summit affirming their faith in globalisation becoming benevolent in which economic and technological progress distribted to unite rather than divide the community be a reality or just plain rhetoric?
