The volume is divided into five sections. Section I focuses on the divergent perspectives that are reflected in the discourse on China-Africa relations. Section II discusses Japan?s economic modernization and its potential lessons for Africa. Section III compares the foreign policies of Japan and China in Africa and analyzes their supposed rivalries on the continent. Section IV explores the relationship between Southeast Asia and China and its relevance to Africa-China relations. Section V provides an in-depth case study of Ethiopia-China relations over the last century. The book fills a major gap in the existing literature on the triad of Africa, China, and Japan. Under the guidance of the disciplines of African studies, international relations, political sociology, and international political economy, this volume elucidates and examines the complexities of the foreign policies of the two Asian powers toward Africa as well as their economic, political, and cultural underpinnings. 410 0$aAfrica-East Asia International Relations,$x2731-5134 606 $aAsia?Politics and government 606 $aAfrica?Politics and government 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aAsian Politics 606 $aAfrican Politics 606 $aInternational Relations 606 $aInternational Political Economy? 615 0$aAsia?Politics and government. 615 0$aAfrica?Politics and government. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 14$aAsian Politics. 615 24$aAfrican Politics. 615 24$aInternational Relations. 615 24$aInternational Political Economy?. 676 $a320.966 700 $aAdem$b Seifudein$01183195 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910682587103321 996 $aAfrica's Quest for Modernity$93077446 997 $aUNINA
