Now Chinese diplomats and Chinese companies, both state-owned and private, along with an influx of Chinese workers, have spread throughout Africa. This shift is one of the most important geopolitical phenomena of our time. China and Africa: A Century of Engagement presents a comprehensive view of the relationship between this powerful Asian nation and the countries of Africa. This book, the first of its kind to be published since the 1970's, examines all facets of China's relationship with each of the fifty-four African nations. It reviews the history of China's relations with the continent, looking back past the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949. It looks at a broad range of areas that define this relationship-politics, trade, investment, foreign aid, military, security, and culture-providing a significant historical backdrop for each. David H. Shinn and Joshua Eisenman's study combines careful observation, meticulous data analysis, and detailed understanding gained through diplomatic experience and extensive travel in China and Africa. China and Africa demonstrates that while China's connection to Africa is different from that of Western nations, it is no less complex. Africans and Chinese are still developing their perceptions of each other, and these changing views have both positive and negative dimensions. 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / General$2bisacsh 607 $aChina$xForeign relations$y20th century$zAfrica 607 $aAfrica$xForeign relations$y20th century$zChina 607 $aChina$xForeign economic relations$y20th century$zAfrica 607 $aAfrica$xForeign economic relations$y20th century$zChina 610 $aPolitical Science. 610 $aPublic Policy. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / General. 676 $a327.5106 700 $aShinn$b David Hamilton$0244634 701 $aEisenman$b Joshua$f1977-$01594993 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817907703321 996 $aChina and Africa$93915735 997 $aUNINA
