![]() | China and the European Union in Africa: Partners or Competitors? Subjects: Law; Politics & International Relations; Human Rights Law & Civil Liberties; Asian Politics; Comparative Politics; European Politics; Security Studies - Pol & Intl Relns; International Politics; International Relations; African Politics; Global Governance; China's rise on the international scene over the past few years has correlated with its exponential economic growth. The European Union (EU), the world's largest development aid provider, has been feeling the heat of Beijing's closer ties with Africa. As a result, the EU's overall policy-making towards Africa has suffered from a loss of credibility and this has been further exposed both by the success of China's investments in Africa, and by the favourable response that China's investment proposals have received from African leaders. Dividing the book into five parts, the editors and an outstanding line up of Chinese and European contributors guide the reader through the complexities of China's rising influence in Africa, but they also analyse if and how the EU should adapt to this.
