While China's role and place in Africa has garnered a lot of
scholarly attention-be it praise or condemnation-not much has been
written about Taiwan's role and place on the continent even though
Taiwan was a major player and partner in Africa's quest for growth
and development. From the 1960s to 1971, more African countries had
diplomatic relations with Taiwan as opposed to China. But less than
five decades after the United Nations General Assembly Resolution
2758 was passed, there has been a reversal of fortune in terms of
supremacy and diplomatic recognition with only one country,
Eswatini, recognizing Taiwan as an independent country. Taiwan in
Africa: Seven Decades of Certainty and Uncertainties, edited by
Sabella Ogbobode Abidde, addresses gaps in academic literature
regarding Taiwan's engagement with states and societies on the
continent. This book examines international political economy,
international security, the history of modern Africa, and
geopolitical pressures and conflict. The book addresses Taiwan's
early engagement with the continent and the geopolitical and
economic considerations that influenced African governments in
their decision-making vis-a-vis their relationship with Taipei.
