In this blog, I focus each time on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and International Trade in a certain country or territory in terms of how 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 specific 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.

Lake Chad Basin
The basin spans eight countries, including most of Chad and a large part of Niger. A combination of dams, increased irrigation, climate change, and reduced rainfall is causing water shortages, contributing to terrorism and the rise of Boko Haram in the region.
