Given the global scope and depth of the BRI, it is of considerable importance to understand how this initiative applies to developing economies in the African context. The article provides a brief historical context of the BRI, followed by a short theoretical framework, specifically in the scholarly field of International Relations. The article then expounds on the opportunities the BRI could create for Africa, such as improving infrastructure, assisting in African industrialisation and economic advancement, as well as introducing beneficial diplomatic initiatives. The article also examines the strategic risks associated with the BRI, such as unsustainable debt concerns, concerns regarding the effect of an increasing trade deficit on domestic markets, as well as risks pertaining to large-scale infrastructure development.", "publicationTitle": "Strategic review for southern Africa = Strategiese oorsig vir suider-Africa", "publisher": "University of Pretoria", "place": "", "date": "2022", "volume": "44", "issue": "1", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "143–165", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "10.35293/srsa.v44i1.4090", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "1013-1108", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Entering the Dragon’s Den", "language": "eng", "libraryCatalog": "wrlc-gm.primo.exlibrisgroup.com", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "Place: Pretoria", "tags": [ { "tag": "Connectivity", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Cooperation", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Corruption", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Debt restructuring", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Domestic markets", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Economic growth", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Economic reform", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Industrialization", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Infrastructure", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "International relations", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Natural resources", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Pandemics", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Roads & highways", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Xi Jinping", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [ "WXUIQLXK" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2023-03-20T15:12:47Z", "dateModified": "2023-03-20T15:12:47Z" } }, { "key": "HCKLV8BR", "version": 620, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 78022, "name": "Conflict analysis", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/conflict_analysis", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/78022/items/HCKLV8BR", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/conflict_analysis/items/HCKLV8BR", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 41016, "username": "lkurtz", "name": "Lester Kurtz", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/lkurtz", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Ehizuelen and Abdi", "parsedDate": "2018", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "HCKLV8BR", "version": 620, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Sustaining China-Africa relations: Slotting Africa into China’s One Belt, One Road initiative makes economic sense", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Michael Mitchell Omoruyi", "lastName": "Ehizuelen" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Hodan Osman", "lastName": "Abdi" } ], "abstractNote": "China’s “One Belt One Road” (OBOR) Initiative forms the centerpiece of China’s leadership’s new foreign policy.

Middle and smaller powers become arenas for direct or proxy competition. The U.S.-China competition has taken this to a new level as globalization has led to an expansion of the possible venues for competition, including the African continent. Africa is, without a doubt, important to Washington and Beijing due to its emerging economies, natural resources, and participation in international organizations. We are already seeing Washington and Beijing gearing up for competition in Africa, as rhetoric in both countries shows increasing concern about the activities of the other. Within Washington, a key question that has emerged is: what is driving the surge in Chinese investments in Africa? Among the theories posited by scholars, two have emerged as the leading explanations for the exponential increase of Chinese investments in Africa. The first postulates that investments are driven by the Chinese military’s desire to create military strongholds beyond China’s continental periphery. The second theory argues that investments are driven by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leadership’s desires for a Beijing-led rules-based order. Proponents of this theory argue that Beijing primarily views investments as a leveraging tool to expand its influence in Africa and international institutions. This thesis will explore the evidence for its primary hypothesis that the exponential rise in Chinese investments is driven by Beijing’s need to address domestic market conditions—rapid natural resource consumption and excess capacity.

The essay argues the incorporation of a stakeholder‐centric approach which will be beneficial to all countries concerned.", "publicationTitle": "Global policy", "publisher": "Wiley Subscription Services, Inc", "place": "", "date": "2022", "volume": "13", "issue": "S1", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "11–22", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "10.1111/1758-5899.13034", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "1758-5880", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "China engages the Global South", "language": "eng", "libraryCatalog": "wrlc-gm.primo.exlibrisgroup.com", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "Place: London", "tags": [ { "tag": "Anglican churches", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Centrality", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Developing countries", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Episcopal churches", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Geopolitics", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "International relations", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Knowledge management", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "LDCs", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Leadership", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Modernity", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Political economy", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Transnationalism", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [ "WXUIQLXK" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2023-03-20T15:10:33Z", "dateModified": "2023-03-20T15:10:33Z" } }, { "key": "AQLKYWPT", "version": 575, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 78022, "name": "Conflict analysis", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/conflict_analysis", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/78022/items/AQLKYWPT", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/conflict_analysis/items/AQLKYWPT", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 41016, "username": "lkurtz", "name": "Lester Kurtz", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/lkurtz", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Yu", "parsedDate": "2018", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "AQLKYWPT", "version": 575, "itemType": "book", "title": "China's belt and road: the initiative and its financial focus", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Xugang", "lastName": "Yu" } ], "abstractNote": "", "series": "Series on China's belt and road initiative ; v. 2", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2018", "publisher": "World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd", "place": "Singapore", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "", "ISBN": "978-981-323-953-1", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "China's belt and road", "language": "eng", "libraryCatalog": "wrlc-gm.primo.exlibrisgroup.com", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "2000-", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "China", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Commerce", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Economic policy", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Foreign economic relations", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Trade routes", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [ "WXUIQLXK" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2023-03-20T15:10:33Z", "dateModified": "2023-03-20T15:10:33Z" } }, { "key": "5EA2ARHJ", "version": 574, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 78022, "name": "Conflict analysis", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/conflict_analysis", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/78022/items/5EA2ARHJ", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/conflict_analysis/items/5EA2ARHJ", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/78022/items/R9NVXUGN", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 41016, "username": "lkurtz", "name": "Lester Kurtz", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/lkurtz", "type": "text/html" } } }, "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "5EA2ARHJ", "version": 574, "parentItem": "R9NVXUGN", "itemType": "note", "note": "Nele Noesselt -- Julia Strauss -- Georg Lammich -- Liu Haifang -- Christof Hartmann -- Lucy Corkin -- Steve Hess -- Richard Aidoo -- Chun Zhang -- Sven Grimm, Christine Hackenesch -- Lloyd Sachikonye -- Efem Ubi -- Patricia Rinck -- Nele Noesselt, Christof Hartmann China's African Dream: Assessing China's New Strategy / Layered Rhetorics and Multiple Realities: China and Africa / China and Regional Security in Africa / Coping with Security challenges in African Society.

However, China's engagement with African states at the political and diplomatic level has received less attention in the literature. This book investigates the impact of Chinese policies on African politics, asking how China deals with political instability in Africa and in turn how Africans perceive China to be helping or hindering political stability. Whilst China officially operates with a foreign policy strategy which conceives of Africa as one integrated monolithic area (with FOCAC the flagship of inter-continental cooperation), this book highlights the plurality of context-specific interaction patterns between China and African elites, demonstrating how Chinese politics in the context of resource-rich and geostrategically important countries differs from the strategies coined for relations with those African states without strategic resources. By looking comparatively at a range of different country cases, the book aims to develop a theoretical framework that assesses how China reacts to political stability and instability, and in which ways the country contributes to domestic political dynamics and stability within African states. China's New Role in African Politics will be of interest to researchers from across Political Science, International Relations, International Law and Economy, Security Studies, and African and Chinese Studies\"--", "series": "Routledge Global Cooperation Series", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2020", "publisher": "Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group", "place": "London ; New York", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "1", "ISBN": "978-0-429-42239-3", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "China's new role in African politics", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "catalog.loc.gov Library Catalog", "callNumber": "DT38.9.C6", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "21st century", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Africa, Sub-Saharan", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "China", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Foreign relations", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Politics and government", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [ "WXUIQLXK" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2023-03-20T14:58:19Z", "dateModified": "2023-03-20T14:58:19Z" } }, { "key": "CF8J55R9", "version": 573, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 78022, "name": "Conflict analysis", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/conflict_analysis", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/78022/items/CF8J55R9", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/conflict_analysis/items/CF8J55R9", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 41016, "username": "lkurtz", "name": "Lester Kurtz", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/lkurtz", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Behrndt-Eriksen", "parsedDate": "2021", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "CF8J55R9", "version": 573, "itemType": "book", "title": "Chinese energy companies in Africa: implications for the foreign policy of an authoritarian state", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Kasandra", "lastName": "Behrndt-Eriksen" } ], "abstractNote": "Over the last decade, Chinese energy companies have engaged in the acquisition of oil and gas in Africa. This book investigates the activities of Chinese energy companies throughout a number of African countries, including Nigeria, Angola, Sudan and Tunisia. Based on seven years of empirical research and hundreds of interviews with Chinese government and company representatives, Chinese Energy Companies in Africa breaks original ground in understanding the emergence of domestic interest groups in foreign policy. It examines the impact of non-state actors on Chinese foreign policy, and in particular the increasing role played by national oil companies (NOCs). Supported by extensive data, this is also the first publication of its kind to focus on the foreign policy behaviour of an authoritarian state and the role herein played by non-state actors. In addition to the main cases put forward, a chapter of comparative mini-cases is included. This bookcreates important implications for both policymakers and scholars; it will serve as a valuable resource for those involved in the fields of foreign policy, international security and international relations.", "series": "Routledge contemporary China series", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2021", "publisher": "Routledge", "place": "Abingdon, Oxon ;", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "", "ISBN": "978-0-429-75240-7", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Chinese energy companies in Africa", "language": "eng", "libraryCatalog": "wrlc-gm.primo.exlibrisgroup.com", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Africa", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "China", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Foreign economic relations", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Government policy", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Petroleum industry and trade", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [ "WXUIQLXK" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2023-03-20T14:56:57Z", "dateModified": "2023-03-20T14:56:57Z" } } ]
