Product Description
Product Description
From the Back Cover
The developing world has been an important arena where China has attempted to combat ‘hegemony’ by other powers and construct a support constituency to bolster China’s position in its various tensions with the West. With China’s rise to the status of great power, trade and political links between Africa and China have been escalating at an astonishing rate. Sino-African relations are becoming an increasingly significant feature of world politics, fuelled by China’s growing hunger for energy resources, and the desire of many African countries to seek a partner that, unlike the West, does not worry about democracy and transparency, and does not seek to impose political conditionalities on economic relations. This book provides a comprehensive assessment of relations between China and Africa. It discusses the historical evolution of Sino-African relations in the period since the 1949 revolution, going on to consider in detail China’s relations with Angola, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Zambia, South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland and Malawi. It demonstrates how China has used the rhetoric of anti-hegemonism to secure and promote its position in the Third World, and examines the ways in which Beijing has utilized its African ties as a vehicle to challenge Superpower hegemony. Overall, this book provides a thorough analysis of the hitherto under-researched topic of relations between China and Africa, a phenomenon of critical importance in contemporary international politics.
The People's Republic of China's image - both within and outside China - is that of a 'great power' and as the PRC has become a major global economy, increasingly a debate has begun as to whether China is in fact an emerging 'Superpower'. Read the first page
