Law & Investment in Africa
Author: Tinahse Kondo
Publisher: African Sun Media
ISBN: 1990995020
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
Zimbabwe has had a chaotic foreign direct investment (FDI) regime. This has created the need for a detailed volume on the most important developments around the protection and treatment of FDI, at not only a domestic level, but also at bilateral, regional and international levels. The author argues that while Zimbabwe has now harmonised, previously scattered legislation under the Zimbabwe Investment and Development Agency Act [Chapter 14:37] and taken measures to reverse (to varying degrees) controversial policies such as the land reform programme and the Indigestion and Economic Empowerment Policy, scepticism still prevails over the investor-friendliness of the FDI regime in Zimbabwe.

Facts Need Not Be In Evidence
Author: Craig Boulton
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595334024
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Illinois congressman Henry Hyde once remarked that after reading Eleanor Roosevelt's editorials in the 1950s, he was driven into the embrace of the Republican Party. Similarly all the liberal talking heads appearing on the cable news channels have driven this longstanding Goldwater Republican to write a response. In it the author describes Republican Values from the perspective of growing up in an entrepreneurial family and his own self-employment in the financial industry. Drawing on his experiences as a Navy Midshipman while attending a private Eastern University during the turbulent 1960s, and then as a Marine combat officer during the Vietnam Era when domestic terrorism was in vogue, he discusses the politically correct's childish behavior from that unique perspective. As a former professional military officer and later a trained economist and financial analyst who's spent three decades successfully anticipating the impact of public policy on the financial markets, the author addresses issues dominating the election of 2004. This includes the politically correct's failure to understand the war on terror, understanding that their rhetoric can best be understood from the perspective of what Stalin called 'social fascism' with the accompanying need to demonize one's opposition.

Russo-ukrainian War: Implications For The Asia Pacific
Author: Steven Rosefielde
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9811274894
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
Russo-Ukrainian War: Implications for the Asia Pacific explores the implications of the Russo-Ukrainian war for American and Chinese engagement in the Asia Pacific. It interprets Russia's invasion of Ukraine which began on February 24, 2022 as part of a complex double game where the Kremlin and Washington simultaneously spar, bluffing for high stakes despite catastrophic risks in the name of lofty ideals, while pursuing expedient default agendas. Both sides champion virtuous global orders compatible with their tastes and objectives. Washington seeks to compel Moscow to abide by its rules and vice-versa.The immediate impact of the Russo-Ukrainian War on the Asia Pacific has been to confirm Chinese President Xi Jinping's perception that Washington is committed to low-cost, regime-changing Cold War with China to preserve its status as the world's preeminent superpower. Washington is willing to increase hard power defense spending modestly to tackle the Taiwan and South China Sea issues, but will not compete with China in an arms race, curtail productivity stifling government over-regulation and social spending or curb China's abusive state trading.Emboldened by what Washington considers America's successes in the Russo-Ukrainian proxy war, American President Joe Biden plans to reinforce military spending with attitude management campaigns, moral suasion and coalitions of the willing including the North Atlantic Treaty Organization — efforts to spark Chinese color revolution and regime change. Biden diplomatically calls his policy Cold Peace, but his actions bespeak Cold War.Amid the power contestation among the United States, Russia and China, it is naïve in the contemporary world to suppose that the three major powers can permanently subjugate each other. Wise leadership requires satisficing for the attainable good rather than striving for the delusional best.

Zones of Control
Author: Pat Harrigan
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 026233495X
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 845
Book Description
A look at wargaming’s past, present, and future—from digital games to tabletop games—and its use in entertainment, education, and military planning. With examples from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Harpoon, Warhammer 40,000, and more! Games with military themes date back to antiquity, and yet they are curiously neglected in much of the academic and trade literature on games and game history. This volume fills that gap, providing a diverse set of perspectives on wargaming’s past, present, and future. In Zones of Control, contributors consider wargames played for entertainment, education, and military planning, in terms of design, critical analysis, and historical contexts. They consider both digital and especially tabletop games, most of which cover specific historical conflicts or are grounded in recognizable real-world geopolitics. Game designers and players will find the historical and critical contexts often missing from design and hobby literature; military analysts will find connections to game design and the humanities; and academics will find documentation and critique of a sophisticated body of cultural work in which the complexity of military conflict is represented in ludic systems and procedures. Each section begins with a long anchoring chapter by an established authority, which is followed by a variety of shorter pieces both analytic and anecdotal. Topics include the history of playing at war; operations research and systems design; wargaming and military history; wargaming’s ethics and politics; gaming irregular and non-kinetic warfare; and wargames as artistic practice.
