The study was undertaken in an attempt to examine the fundamental determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) to Sub-Saharan Africa. FDI is considered a positive phenomenon, particularly for developing countries. These countries face many barriers to development, including lack of capital and thus the lack of investment opportunities. Therefore, the question arises: how to attract more foreign capital, and what new and effective policy to apply? To answer this question, one must examine the determinants of FDI inflow to the test region. The paper focuses on determinants associated with management issues recommended by international institutions, namely: economic and political stability, corruption and administrative procedures, investment climate, as well as attractiveness and good governance in the field of foreign direct investment.

The end of the Cold War was not tantamount with elimination of all sources of tensions or conflicts worldwide. On the contrary, at that time international reality saw a number of new problems or aggravation of some of those already present. Transformation of international power arrangement that has taken place since that time confronted the European Union and countries of Sub-Saharan Africa with the need to redefine their mutual relations in the context of international security in both political and economic areas. The aim of this article is to present those relations. It analyses such issues as wars and conflicts in Africa; international terrorism and energy-related aspect of security. The Author discusses premises, conditions and measures taken by the EU in that respect. The article also attempts to answer the question, whether the EU manages to effectively influence the process of shaping international security in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The aim of this article is to look at the complexity of the condition of past and present sub-Saharan Africa, as it is seen from the perspective of Europeans. By pointing to the contemporary, historical, social, anthropological and political studies on Africa, there is an attempt to overcome two widespread cliches on Africa that are being perpetuated, particularly by the media, opinion makers and to a certain extent through the public education system. The crucial question raised here is whether an ordinary inhabitant of the Western World can understand todays' sub-Saharan Africa , that is characterized by ongoing poverty, pandemic diseases, armed conflicts, political mismanagement, but also by Africa's current endeavour to resolve all these predicaments by adopting a vision of a rebirth of Africa: the African Renaissance.

The ongoing refugee crises across the globe, especially in the case of large influxes and movements in Europe and Africa, remain an unsolved problem. This is particularly evident in Africa. It has been observed that in 2015 the African continent alone had more than 6 million refugees. Therefore this article examines the increasing obstacles in protecting refugees in Sub-Saharan Africa. The key question is how can the protection of refugees be guaranteed, especially during a mass influx in Sub-Saharan Africa? The paper discusses local integration with analytical reference to the Sub-Saharan African context. It argues that the 1969 Organisation of African Unity Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa endorses the minimum normative standards of protection provided in the 1951 Refugee Convention. It further observes that facilitating the development of refugees and their host communities through effective local integration remains a durable solution. It concludes that local integration is possibly the only option for most refugees in Sub-Saharan Africa as possibilities for voluntary repatriation and third country resettlement become eroded in situations of protracted conflicts.

Drawing a distinction between circular and linear time is only one of many possible divisions. It can coexist and overlap with sacrum and profanum, ecological and structural as well as with objective and subjective time. Moreover, the very same event, such as for example the rite of initiation, by most community members considered as a manifest of circular time, by individuals can be seen as linear in their personal perception. Closing the passing of time in a circular, cyclic or spiral figure contradicts the scientific principle of anizotropia. Therefore, to fully understand the essence of circular time, meant as a kind of 'return of time', it is necessary to abandon the terms of modern physics and try to analyse the myth, the genealogy, history, the astrological and meteorological cycles, observed in a preindustrial society. Different forms of perceptions of this subject can be found in ancient India, ancient Greece, and another in traditional sub-Saharan Africa. Time treated as a cicrcle is relatively static, non-cumulative, it is also focused on ancestors, emphasises the importance of archetypic myth, and it can be seen as unfavourable to the development of a modern industrial society.
