There is now a rush by governments and private companies to\nexpand in the rapidly growing region, to the extent that we can begin to talk\nof a process of world-wide investment. Both traditionally powerful economies in the\nWest and emerging powers such as China and India have contributed to a vast\nproliferation of investment, raising questions of what intense competition will\nmean for Africa’s economic development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Globalization of\nForeign Investment in Africa: The Role of Europe, China, and India\u003c\/i\u003e compares\nthe differing approaches between Asian and European players in Africa, with a\nparticular focus on the role of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the\nsocio-economic, socio-political, and socio-cultural development of the region.\nFirst documenting the historical context of Western dominance from European\ncolonial powers, the book follows the paradigm shift that occurred with China’s\n21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e century foray into Africa in search of oil and other raw\nmaterials to fuel its own rapidly rising economy.
