China and Africa: Volume 9

This new topic of China's involvement in Africa is tackled by leading contributors whose articles are based on primary research.

This book contributes to the ongoing assessment of China's involvement in Africa – a topic so new that it has largely been taken up by policymakers with knowledge of only China or only Africa. This book focuses on transnational capital flows & investment, migration, and the ongoing challenges of engagement in Africa.Covering a range of African countries from Equatorial Guinea to Tanzania, this volume adds to a growing literature on the emerging relationship between China and Africa, presenting work that is based on primary research. It includes articles on a wide range of subjects, including China's energy policy, labour relations, trade networks and cultural perceptions. The various essays chart the rise of a multiplicity of different actors in the relationship, emerging patterns of globalization and development, and rhetoric and representation.
