Policies Towards Inward Foreign Investment
This article considers the policies which a democratic government of South Africa should adopt towards inward foreign investment and what instruments should be sued to give effect to those policies.

The approach proposed would essentially treat foreign…
Governance and the Foreign Direct Investor
Mike Faber's article examines what is thought to constitute ‘good governance’ towards direct foreign investment (DFI).

A picture of the final mission in Fiji can be reconstructed from the pages of the Journey Reports which each ID…
