Game Changer
No one ever got a second chance to make a great first impression. That was something Jack Daniels knew all to well. (Yes, that was his real name. No, he was not related to that Jack Daniels). Jack wouldn’t normally care what someone else thought of him, but when it impacted his job? That was another matter entirely. It wasn’t even his fault, not really. If anyone was to blame for Jack making an absolute fool of himself in front of his new neighbour it was his ‘friend’ Carter. But now Jack had to make things right…or he would miss out on the biggest coup of his career. Dianna Fletcher was just trying to live her best life. Yes, she suffered with chronic pain and no, it wasn’t all ...

Foreign Policy in Post-Apartheid South Africa
South Africa is the most industrialized power in Africa. It was rated the continent's largest economy in 2016 and is the only African member of the G20. It is also the only strategic partner of the EU in Africa. Yet despite being so strategically and economically significant, there is little scholarship that focuses on South Africa as a regional hegemon. This book provides the first comprehensive assessment of South Africa's post-Apartheid foreign policy. Over its 23 chapters - -and with contributions from established Africa, Western, Asian and American scholars, as well as diplomats and analysts - the book examines the current pattern of the country's foreign relations in impressive detail....

The Rise of the State
If you want to make money in the coming decade, you need to understand the two most powerful trends that are reshaping global markets right now: the growth of emerging economies, and the accelerating influence of sovereign wealth funds. Both trends share one crucial characteristic: they reflect the rising role of government actors, and make it more important for investors to understand geopolitics than ever before. These trends emerged well before the global financial and economic crisis, and that crisis has only strengthened them. In The Rise of the State, three leading investment advisors tell the hidden story of state investment power, and offer more than 70 specific investment recommenda...

South Africa in Africa
Since 1994, South Africa has radically transformed its role in Africa. The one-time apartheid pariah is now a continental leader that is both envied and resented. Its politicians and diplomats have worked on peace interventions and new Pan-African institutions, while South African business has practically stampeded north of the Limpopo in search of new markets. In this rigorous, policy-relevant book, a diverse group of Pan-African scholars examine South Africa's post-apartheid foreign policy, arguing that an effective foreign policy requires a strong domestic base. The book assesses key regional challenges for South Africa - leadership, military and economic power - and less conventional foreign policy concerns such as land conflict and HIV/AIDS. Detailed case studies describe South Africa's role in developing the AU and NEPAD, and its relations with strategic countries in West, Southern, and North Africa, the Great Lakes region, and the Horn of Africa. This unique volume is the first in-depth study of South Africa's critical role in Africa over the last thirteen years. Book jacket.
