Why So Much Interest In China Africa Links? (23 Oct 2015)

The interest in China's engagement with Africa has grown fast in the past 10 years. This reflects both real trends in trade, investment and labour flows, but also a clash of perceptions about their potential impact on the development prospects of African economies and societies. This seminar tackled the basis for these different views and how empirically-grounded work often challenges well-established perceptions about China-Africa relations. Speaker: Dr. Carlos Oya Moderator: Raffaello Pantucci
