China is among a number of large developing country or new
powers on the ascendance in the international system, all of which
are deepening their economic relations with Africa However, China
is the largest and most powerful of this group. it has sought
closer economic relationships with other developing country regions
and continents such as Latin America and Central Asia, but it is
with Africa - the continent that hosts more developing countries
than any other - that China has fostered the closest links.
This book provides an overview of how the China - Africa
relationship has evolved over the last few decades and examines
whether it presents a new paradigm of 'development relations' in
the international system. The contributors investigate what is
particularly special about the emerging development partnership
between Africa and China, and how it may evolve in the future. The
contributors focus on various development capacity issues -
infrastructural, industrial, technocratic, institutional, human
capital, sustainable economic practices - and consider various
debates on 'development' and development ideologies, including
whether China's practices in Africa pose a challenge to Western
conventions on development assistance.
China-Africa Development Relations will be of interest to those
students and scholars of African studies, Chinese studies,
international development and development studies.
