Independent Dissertation: A critical analysis of the impact of foreign financial investment in sub-Saharan Africa, asking whether it is a threat to the process of democratisation in the region. This analysis has given particular attention to Chinese foreign direct investment and fiscal aid, hoping to offer further insight into the broader issue of how financial influence may hinder efforts of sustained development.
Address: Egham, Surrey, United Kingdom
