This volume is the first Handbook aimed at studying Africa-Asia and Asia-Africa Relations in a multi-disciplinary and comprehensive way. It provides insights into the nature of interaction between the African continent and a wide range of Asian countries, and how those interactions are being studied. The result is a balanced discussion of historical and contemporary processes, and geographical coverage. The contributors respond to the growing scholarly interest in Asia-Africa and Africa-Asia relations by focusing on the question of how can we theorize Africa-Asia/Asia-Africa relations given the multifaceted diversity of the two regions?

Taking a thematic approach, chapters cover the increasing diplomatic, trade and investment ties between Asia and Africa. Other chapters move beyond political, diplomatic and economic issues to look at society-level interactions and Africa’s and Asian historical processes to understand earlier connections between the two regions, and how they stands in the current international system.

This handbook grapples with major explicit and implicit intellectual questions, defines current research, and projects future research agendas in the field. As such, it will be of great interest and value not only to undergraduate and post-graduate students of African and Asian politics, but also to researchers and policymakers interested in Asian and African studies.
