      abstract = {This collection brings together a range of case studies of  European companies (most notably those of former colonial  powers) and considers their involvement in development  after European decolonisation. In this way, the book makes  an original contribution to post-colonial studies.  Individual chapters by both established and early career  scholars examine the activities of foreign enterprise in  various African states and the companies strategies to stay  in Africa. They explore how businesses were not just  challenged by the new international landscape but benefited  from the opportunities it offered, particularly those  provided by development aid. Together they constitute an  important contribution to our understanding of both  business and development in post-colonial Africa,  redressing an imbalance in existing histories of both  business and development which focus predominantly on the  colonial period. This volume breaks new ground as one of  the very first to bring the study of foreign companies and  development aid into the same frame of analysis.},
