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, labourers 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 hegemon. 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.
