Le capital international et ses effets en Namibie

Abstract

Critical review taken from Eriksen/Moorsom's Political economy of Namibia, Scandinavian Institute of African Studies, 1985, ISBN 91-7106-234-3, pp. 163-164:

This political science thesis, submitted to the University of Quebec, offers a mainly descriptive account of the operations of the multi-national corporations in the Namibian economy. The focal point of the critical study is on the first part of the 1970s, based on annual reports and calculations of profits of the major corporations. There is also some information on the Namibian economy and the role of foreign investment in general. The book contains a comprehensive list of firms according to sectors, as well as several tables. The bibliography is especially valuable becasue of the inclusion of articles from the current affairs magazines such as Afrique-Asie, Jeune Afrique, Le Monde, and L'Economiste du Tiers Monde
