Show Notes

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
