Is US investment in Africa prejudiced ?

The WES TWEEK raises an interesting set of questions and issues: 

• Does the US invest less in Africa because it sees the whole continent as corrupt?
• Is the US corporate way of doing business set up to be too cautious?
• Are there image and prejudicial barriers to large scale investment by US companies?
• Is the reality of levels of corruption lower than the perception?
• What effect does this lower level of investment have on US businesses?
• What effect does it have on entrepreneurs in Africa?

These questions and issues have been raised by Renee Horne, the editor of the WES Topic of the Week. She is exploring them both in Washington DC and soon, in South Africa. See here for the topics she and others have raised. See here for how you can join in with the debates.
