The 21st century era of globalization has opened up many investment
alternatives for Africa. There is now a rush by governments and
private companies to expand in the rapidly growing region, to the
extent that we can begin to talk of a process of world-wide
investment. Both traditionally powerful economies in the West and
emerging powers such as China and India have contributed to a vast
proliferation of investment, raising questions of what intense
competition will mean for Africa's economic development. The
Globalization of Foreign Investment in Africa: The Role of Europe,
China, and India compares the differing approaches between Asian
and European players in Africa, with a particular focus on the role
of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the socio-economic,
socio-political, and socio-cultural development of the region.
First documenting the historical context of Western dominance from
European colonial powers, the book follows the paradigm shift that
occurred with China's 21st century foray into Africa in search of
oil and other raw materials to fuel its own rapidly rising economy.
Using an interdisciplinary approach, the author proposes that
Africa will only get maximum benefits from high-level investment
activities if it succeeds in evolving an Africa-driven foreign
investment policy. This strategy presents the best scenario for an
African economic renaissance in the 21st century. An important
contribution to research on contemporary Afro-Asian dynamics, this
book will be of interest to students and academics of African
Studies, Asian Studies, globalization, and economics, as well as
potential investors and investing agencies.
