China's rise to power is one of the biggest questions in
International Relations theory (IRT) and foreign policy circles.
Although power has been a core concept of IRT for a long time, the
faces and mechanisms of power as it relates to Chinese foreign
policymaking has changed the contours of that debate. The rise of
China and other powers across the global political arena sparks a
new visibility for different kinds of encounters between states,
particularly between China and other Global South states. These
encounters are more visible to IR scholars because of the
increasing influence that rising powers have in the international
system. This book shows that foreign policy encounters between
rising powers and Global South states do not necessarily exhibit
the same logics, behaviors, or investment strategies of
Euro-American hegemons. Instead, they have distinctive features
that require new theoretical frameworks for analysis. Shaping the
Future of Power probes the types of power mechanisms that build,
diffuse, and project China's power in Africa. One must take into
account the processes of knowledge production, social capital
formation, and skills transfers that Chinese foreign policy directs
toward African states to fully understand China's power-building
mechanisms. The relational power framework requires these elements
to capture both the material aspects and ideational people-centered
aspects to power. By examining China's investments in human
resource development programs for Africa, the book reveals a vital,
yet undertheorized, aspect of China's foreign policy making.
