Blog on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and International Trade by Dr. Ziva Rozen-Bakher to Identify Risks versus Opportunities at the Country Level
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.

Northern Cyprus
Disputed Country between Northern Cyprus (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus) and Cyprus (Republic of Cyprus)
Ottoman Empire annexed Cyprus in 1571 and most of the years after that, until 1878, Cyprus was part of the Ottoman Empire. From 1878 until 1960, Cyprus was a Colony of UK, while in 196o, United Cyprus gained independence from UK when Greece and Turkey agreed to abandon their demand for sovereignty over the island, still, UK keeps until today two military bases on the island as two British colonies: Akrotiri and Dhekelia (see below). However, in 1974, occurred a coup d'état in trying to annex the island to Greece, which, in response, led to the Turkish invasion of Northern Cyprus. Eventually, in 1983, Northern Cyprus made a self-declaration of independence, which until today is recognized only by Turkey. (For full details see section E16.2 in Section E16.
