China and Africa. New development partnership or neo-colonialism?

More about the book

The paper explores the evolving dynamics of China-Africa relations, highlighting a shift from political ties to economically motivated connections since the 1980s. It examines the increasing engagement of China with major African countries and investigates the underlying reasons for this growing interest. The analysis is structured into two parts: the first delves into the motivations driving China's involvement in Africa, while the second assesses the implications of Chinese presence on the continent's development initiatives.
