FOCAC 2015: A New Beginning of China Africa Relations

The book represents what the editors call a ‘policy think-tank process’ and, as such, it opens an important scholarly and academic window for showing how the measurements of FOCAC benefits have had an important bearing on Africa’s growth and development prospects. As mentioned, academic debates and polemical contestation will continue about whether China’s impulses in Africa are entirely altruistic and benevolent or whether China represents the new face of imperialism, neo-colonialism and exploitation.
