This collection brings together a range of case studies by both
established and early career scholars to consider the nexus between
business and development in post-colonial Africa. A number of
contributors examine the involvement of European companies (most
notably those of former colonial powers) in development in various
African states at the end of empire and in the early post-colonial
era. They explore how businesses were not just challenged by the
new international landscape but benefited from the opportunities it
offered, particularly those provided by development aid. Other
contributors focus on the development agencies of the departing
colonial powers to consider how far these served to promote the
interests of European companies. Together these case studies
constitute an important contribution to our understanding of both
business and development in post-colonial Africa, redressing an
imbalance in existing histories of both business and development
which focus predominantly on the colonial period. This volume
breaks new ground as one of the very first to bring the study of
foreign companies and development aid into the same frame of
analysis
