Abstract
What have come to be known as the varied forces and processes of globalizationâincluding trade liberalization, real-time information and communications technology, and the privatization of state enterpriseâhave diverse implications (both positive and inimical) to the promotion and protection of the right to culture in contemporary Africa. While pointing out that culture is a dynamic aspect of human evolution, the article explores what implications globalization has for ensuring that its positive aspects are protected, while the negative are not given free reign. In particular, the article pays particular attention to the concept of traditional knowledge and women's human rights and the role of the African Commission in dealing with globalization's most adverse consequences.
