Nowhere in the world is China's rapid rise to power more evident
than in Africa. From multi-billion dollar investments in oil and
minerals to the influx of thousands of merchants, laborers and
cheap consumer goods, China's economic and political reach is
redefining Africa's traditional ties with the international
community. This book investigates the emerging relationship between
China and Africa to determine whether this engagement will be that
of a development partner, economic competitor or new hegemony.
Alden argues that in order to understand Chinese involvement on the
continent, we need to recognize the range of economic, diplomatic
and security rationales behind Beijing's Africa policy as well as
the response of African elites to China's entreaties. Only then can
the new challenges and opportunities for Africa and the West be
accurately assessed.
