Chinas Aid to Africa: Does Friendship Really Matter?: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Chinas Aid to Africa: Does Friendship Really Matter?" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Although China has rapidly increased foreign aid to Africa and is now a relatively major player in the developmental assistance regime, little is still known regarding how China delivers its foreign aid, and even less about how this foreign aid actually works in the recipient countries.This book, extensively utilising Chinese sources, much of which have not been available before, examines the effectiveness and sustainability of Chinas foreign aid in Africa, as well as the political, economic and diplomatic factors that influence Chinese aid disbursement policies. The book argues that a nebulous notion of friendship, however ill-defined, is a key factor in Chinese aid, something which is often overlooked by Western scholars. Through a detailed examination of both the decision-making process in Chinese aid disbursements, as well as an examination of specific case studies in West Africa, this book improves our understanding of Chinas foreign aid policies towards Africa. It finds that there are profound shortcomings in Chinas foreign aid at present which, despite the protestations of friendship and solidarity, undermine Beijings effectiveness as an actor in the developmental assistance enterprise in Africa.This text will be of key interest to scholars and students of development studies, African studies, China-Africa relations and more broadly to international relations.

Chinas Aid to Africa
Although China has rapidly increased foreign aid to Africa and is now a relatively major player in the developmental assistance regime, little is still known regarding how China delivers its foreign aid, and even less about how this foreign aid actually works in the recipient countries.
This book, extensively utilising Chinese sources, many of which have not been available before, examines the effectiveness and sustainability of Chinas foreign aid in Africa, as well as the political, economic and diplomatic factors that influence Chinese aid disbursement policies. The book argues that a nebulous notion of friendship, however ill-defined, is a key factor in Chinese aid, something which is often overlooked by Western scholars. Through a detailed examination of both the decision-making process in Chinese aid disbursements, as well as an examination of specific case studies in West Africa, this book improves our understanding of Chinas foreign aid policies towards Africa. It finds that there are profound shortcomings in Chinas foreign aid at present which, despite the protestations of friendship and solidarity, undermine Beijings effectiveness as an actor in the developmental assistance enterprise in Africa.
This text will be of key interest to scholars and students of development studies, African studies, China-Africa relations and more broadly to international relations.
Zhangxi Cheng is Research Fellow at the School of International Relations, University of St Andrews, UK.
Ian Taylor is Professor in International Relations and African Political Economy at the University of St. Andrews (UK); Chair Professor at Renmin University of China (China); Professor Extraordinary at the University of Stellenbosch (South Africa) and Professor at the Centre of African Studies, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil).

Unless otherwise specified, the term Chinas foreign aid in this study refers to Chinas Official Bilateral Development Assistance . It therefore differs from Chinas other foreign aid activities such as Military Aid, Humanitarian Aid, Peacekeeping and participation in International Multilateral Aid.
Whilst this study adopts official translations for titles and policies that were originally introduced in Chinese, not all of these have an official English translation. Whilst some of the interviewees spoke English as their first or second language, the majority of the interviews in this study were conducted in Chinese. In these situations, the information obtained in Chinese has been translated into English by Zhangxi Cheng. Important titles, events, documents and quotations are accordingly noted in the body of the text and endnotes in their original language for further clarification.
The authors gratefully acknowledge the help given to this study by Liu Liyun at Renmin University; Li Xiaoyun at China Agricultural University; Liu Hongwu, Xiao Yuhua, Niu Changsong and Hu Mei at Zhejiang Normal University; He Wenping at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences; and Mao Xiaojing at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation of MOFCOM. The numerous interviewees in both China and Africa are also deeply thanked. Family and friends are of course thanked for their support.
