Blog on FDI and International Trade by Alphabetical Order https://www.rozen-bakher.com/search-blog-1
This blog focuses on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and International Trade in a certain country or territory in terms of how the Location Factors (Political, Economic, Technological, Ecological, Legal and Cultural) and Entry Modes (e.g. M&As, Export and Greenfield) impact the attractiveness - or vice versa - the risks of FDI and International Trade in the certain country or territory, still, keep in mind that each risk may lead to an opportunity for resolving problems via suitable FDI and International Trade, while each opportunity for FDI and International Trade may involve risks.

Anguilla has been a Colony of the British Crown since the 17th century, still, over the years, other countries tried to take control over Anguilla, but they failed to accomplish it. However, when Anguilla became part of the British colony of Saint Kitts in the 19th century, then Anguilla opposed it over many years, until in 1969, Anguilla made a self-declaration of an independent country as a Republic of Anguilla following referendum. In response, a month later, the British Crown sent British troops to restore the British sovereignty over Anguilla via Operation Sheepskin including replacing the leaders of the Republic of Anguilla that even addressed the UN by arguing that Anguilla has the right for self-determination. Eventually, in 1980, Anguilla has become a separate British colony from Saint Kitts and Nevis, but without giving them the right for Independence as done with Saint Kitts and Nevis a few years later. Hence, until today, Anguilla is a British Overseas Territory that has a British Governor who acted as the Head of State, as well as an elected Premier (Chief Minister) who acted as the head of the local government. Besides, Anguilla has an elected local parliament.
