In this way, the book makes an original contribution to post-colonial studies. Individual chapters by both established and early career scholars examine the activities of foreign enterprise in various African states and the companies? strategies to stay in Africa. 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. Together they 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. 410 0$aCambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies,$x2635-1641 606 $aAfrica$xHistory 606 $aImperialism 606 $aEurope$xHistory 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aAfrican History 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism 606 $aEuropean History 606 $aDevelopment Studies 606 $aEconomic History 615 0$aAfrica$xHistory. 615 0$aImperialism. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 14$aAfrican History. 615 24$aImperialism and Colonialism. 615 24$aEuropean History. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 615 24$aEconomic History. 676 $a338.96 676 $a338.96 702 $aStockwell$b S.
