China’s increasing involvement in Africa over the last decade is a controversial and hotly debated issue, On the one hand, China has brought significant economic and political opportunities to the continent with large amounts of investment and infrastructure. While on the other hand, China’s interests in Africa have been challenged as a form of neo-colonialism and support for authoritarian governments at the expense of human rights, the environment and good governance.

Comparing these two arguments, it shows that there is a lack of appropriate criteria with which to evaluate China’s impact on African countries. This book argues for new framework for evaluating China-Africa engagement and analyses China’s responsibility in Africa through the lens of good governance, China’s African policy, policy implementation, feedback from host countries, and feedback from international society.

Including case studies on Chinese involvement in South Sudan, Nigeria, South Africa and Ethiopia, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of African and Chinese politics, International Relations and development.
