Sommario/riassunto

This book explores China’s expanding role in global higher education, analyzing its development models in the Global South through initiatives such as the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) and China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Centering on African and BRI-country students at China’s first and only China-Africa International Business School, it offers fresh theoretical and empirical insights. Drawing on rich data, this book examines China’s alternative aid approaches and philosophies, students motivations, post-graduation aspirations, and their interpretations of the “Chinese Dream.” Highlighting the economic and political implications of China-Africa higher education ties, it provides a timely analysis and actionable recommendations for policymakers, educators, and researchers. An essential resource for understanding China-Africa higher education and China’s development model. .
