An analysis on creating balance between economic transformation and investment in Namibia's mining industry

The study is based on inclusive economic transformation and foreign direct investment (FDI) in Namibia's mining industry. The author seeks to find out how the two competing interests can be balanced, so that readers understand the relevance of both to economic growth and poverty alleviation among the society. In doing so, the study uses the distributive justice theory to justify inclusive economic transformation whereas on the other hand, uses the rational choice theory and investment laws to demonstrate the impact of FDI on the Namibian mining industry. Advise and ratings from the World Bank and international rating agencies have been considered in this regard. In addition, the study includes a brief comparative analysis on how economic transformation affects the economy South Africa and Zimbabwe. The comparison is necessary in order to determine whether Namibia will yield different outcomes or it will fall into the same category like its neighbouring countries. Thereafter, the study concludes with a discussion on the recommendations for future.
