Description

The contributions to this compilation add in various ways to the ongoing discussion on China's role in Africa. They offer a blend of general overviews on the new scramble for Africa's resources, the Chinese expansion into Africa and case studies on Uganda and South Africa. They present reflections on and insights to a current theme, which is widely and controversially debated also within Africa.
