Central Asian stability: under threat?

Article Abstract:

The political stability of Central Asia is being threatened by Tajikistan's civil war and by Russia's efforts to hinder economic growth in the area. Of the newly independent Central Asian states, Tajikistan is the only one experiencing ethnic battles, territorial rifts and a rise in Islamic fundamentalism. Russia's actions are bound to cause an anti-Russian movement which the Central Asian governments would find difficult to suppress for fear of losing their internal legitimacy and becoming too overly reliant on Moscow for survival.

Foreign direct investment in Africa: Rhetoric and reality

Article Abstract:

The future development of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) will depend on how successful individual economies are in attracting large amounts of foreign direct investment (FDI). SSA economies may not become internationally competitive without the inflow of FDI and so will remain marginalized. Much of the new foreign investment is re-investment by existing subsidiaries or associate companies, although there has been widespread disinvestment by British companies.
