THE GLOBALIZATION OF FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN AFRICA: THE ROLE OF EUROPE, CHINA, AND INDIA
Book ID/图书代码： 04331419C00060
English Summary/英文概要： 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 invaluable 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.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 21世纪的全球化时代为非洲提供了许多投资选择。现在，各国政府和私营公司都急于在这个迅速增长的地区进行扩张，使我们能够开始讨论一个世界性的投资进程。无论是传统上实力强大的西方经济体，还是中国和印度等新兴大国，都为投资的大幅增长做出了贡献，这引发了人们对激烈竞争对非洲经济发展意味着什么的疑问。
外国投资在非洲的全球化:欧洲的角色,中国,和印度比较了不同方法在非洲亚洲和欧洲之间的角色,尤其关注外国直接投资(FDI)的角色在社会经济、政治、社会文化发展的地区。该书首先记录了西方从欧洲殖民列强手中取得主导地位的历史背景，并遵循了中国在21世纪进军非洲、寻找石油和其他原材料以推动本国经济快速增长时发生的范式转变。作者采用跨学科的方法提出，非洲只有成功地形成非洲驱动的外国投资政策，才能从高级别投资活动中获得最大的利益。这一战略为21世纪非洲经济复兴提供了最佳方案。
这本书对当代非洲-亚洲动态的研究做出了宝贵的贡献，它将引起非洲研究、亚洲研究、全球化和经济学的学生和学者，以及潜在投资者和投资机构的兴趣。(WYL)
