China's enhanced role within the global economy has profound
political implications across the world, but takes a particular
form in Africa. Over the past few years China has given much aid
and technical support to Africa and for the first time since the
end of the Cold War African leaders have genuine choices about
which aid donors and investors to work with. But does this
translate into development for African countries? How do other
donors react? What do 'ordinary' Africans make of it? And how does
it impact on wider geopolitics? These pressing questions are
addressed through a systematic theorization of the 'China-Africa'
relationship. Using detailed case study material collected in
Africa the authors paint a picture of gains for some states, but
losses for others. Looking beyond the state they see an even more
complex picture of evolving social relations between Chinese and
Africans and a troubling ecological footprint.
