跨国公司和非洲国家的利益博弈：冲突与合作

The Interest Game between MNCs and African Countries:Conflict and Cooperation

强有力的经济和技术力量正在创造一个高度相互依赖的世界经济,跨国公司在其中扮演着重要角色。许多大型跨国公司比大多数非洲国家掌握着更多的经济资源。在跨国公司对非洲国家的直接投资中,跨国公司的占优动机是获取利润,而非洲国家谋求更多的是长期发展利益。由于双方有不同的利益诉求,必然会导致诸多领域的利益冲突,如果要将潜在的利益诉求变成真实的获益,需要双方的长期合作,这是双方利益合作的重要出发点。在现实的决策中,非洲国家的政府希望能最大限度地利用跨国公司的投资为本国经济发展服务,同时将潜在的负面影响降至最低;跨国公司在谋求自身利益的基础上,也会顾及当地政府和民众的利益诉求,以获取长期的投资收益。

Strong economic and technological forces are creating a highly interdependent world economy, in which Multinational Companies （MNCs） are playing an important role. Many large MNCs are in control of more economic resources than most African countries. In the process of FDI inflows to Africa, the dominant motive for MNCs is to get more profits, while African countries are seeking to incorporate foreign investment into their long - term development strategies. Since both sides have different interests, conflicts of interests in many areas seem inevitable when conducting investment activities. If both sides have the same willingness to transfer potential interest demands into real benefits, building long - term cooperation will be an important starting point. In practice, Mrican governments hope to maximize the benefits from MNCs＇ investment for their sustainable economic development and minimize the potential negative impacts. As for MNCs, in addition to pursuing their own interests, they should also take into account the interest demands of local governments and native citizens, in order to obtain a long - term positive return on investment in Africa.
