摘要

这篇社论深入探讨了在非洲经商不断变化的背景,追溯了非洲从被称为 "无望的大陆 "到成为希望和机遇灯塔的历程。在大量学术研究的基础上,社论强调了非洲对全球投资日益增长的吸引力,外国直接投资流入量的增加和充满活力的中产阶级的崛起凸显了这一点。尽管出现了这些充满希望的趋势,但社论也揭示了持续存在的挑战,包括体制脆弱和政治不稳定,以及在现有国际商业话语中的代表性有限。我们推进了对非洲商业环境更细致入微的理解,强调了负责任增长、改善治理和可持续发展的必要性。因此,本特刊深入探讨了在非洲经商的复杂性和挑战,以及在全球舞台上促进竞争力和包容性增长的矛盾和潜力。

Editorial on Doing business in Africa: Navigating opportunities and challenges in Africa's emerging markets

This editorial delves into the evolving context of doing business in Africa, tracing its journey from being dubbed the “hopeless continent” to becoming a beacon of hope and opportunity. Drawing on a wealth of scholarly research, it highlights Africa's increasing attractiveness for global investments, underscored by rising FDI inflows and the emergence of a vibrant middle class. Despite these promising trends, the editorial also sheds light on the persistent challenges, including institutional fragility and political instability, coupled with limited representation in the existing international business discourse. We advance a more nuanced understanding of Africa's business environment, emphasizing the need for responsible growth, improved governance, and sustainable development. Thus, the Special Issue offers insights into the complexities and challenges of doing business in Africa, as well as the paradoxes and potential for fostering competitiveness and inclusive growth on the global stage.
