Book Description
A former British colony, The Gambia became independent in 1965 and has had only three presidents since then. While The Gambia remained a very poor country under its first prime minister and then president (from 1970), Sir Dawda Jawara, democratic institutions survived, multi-party elections were free and fair, and the country’s human rights record was excellent. In contrast, there were seriously flawed elections and extensive human rights abuses under first the Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council and then President Yahya Jammeh. Since Adama Barrow became president in 2017, democratic rule and fair elections have been restored, although many challenges remain; for example, the 2020 Constitution has still not been implemented. This book examines all aspects of recorded Gambian history from the 15th century, when the first European expeditions arrived, to the present. Historical Dictionary of The Gambia, Sixth Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 1,000 cross-referenced entries on important personalities as well as aspects of the country’s politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about The Gambia.

Book Description
Master's Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Law - Miscellaneous, grade: 16, Saarland University (Europa Institut), course: Europäisches und Internationales Recht, language: English, abstract: The thesis aims at giving a country report of The Gambia, starting by presenting the country’s historical, cultural and legal background. Then its social, political and economic situation will be touched upon and the country’s FDI regime and investment law in general will be laid out. The areas in which FDI could be attracted, how this is done and could be improved will be discussed as well as the promotion and protection of investment, the expropriation and compensation and the dispute settlement of investment related matters. It will finally lay out the international and bilateral treaties the country has signed in the realm of investment, evaluate the different aspects and give recommendations for the future. In a globalized world international investment as well as investment treaties gain more importance. Investment laws have as their function investment promotion, sustainable development and legal certainty for domestic and foreign investors. Especially in less developed countries like The Gambia, which were held down mostly due to political reasons and mismanagement, it seems that a time to attract more Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and develop a more competitive economy has come. The Gambian people elected a new president in 2017 and the former ‘Jammeh’ regime having lasted for 22 years came to an end. Thus, with the new government common practices like unlawful expropriation seized to exist and it even enacted a Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission (TRRC) to respond to the needs of victims under the former regime and to promote healing and reconciliation. It also introduced a vision and strategic plan to enhance the Gambia’s economy further, the National Development Plan (NDP). The NDP has been aiming at delivering good governance, social cohesion and a transformed economy for the wellbeing of all Gambians.
