Zambia's policies towards foreign investment : the case of the mining and non-mining sectors

Upphovsperson: Saasa, Oliver S.
Utgivare: Nordiska Afrikainstitutet | Uppsala : Nordiska Afrikainstitutet
År: 1987
Ämnesord: Zambia, Southern Africa, Economic conditions, Dual economy, Mining, Copper industry, Foreign investment, Economic policy, Business and economics, Ekonomi
This study argues that the changes in Zambia's policy towards foreign investors over the years from 1964 to 1985 have been conditioned by objective factors, both internal and external to the Republic and that the influence of ideology appears to be fairly minimal. The economy has remained basically 'mixed' in content despite several institutional and structural re-organizations and foreign investment has, thus, continued to play its pivotal role in the country's economic life.
