This volume offers a critical evaluation of China's programs and projects on the African continent, zooming in on: (a) whether China is preying on states and societies on the continent or, if indeed, she is a benevolent partner on the continent; (b) whether many of the projects are undeniably integral to the growth and development of the continent, or are mostly white elephant projects; (c) examine the cost-benefit of China's involvement on the continent economic and political space; and (d) why Euro-America countries complain about the role and place of China in Africa? Bringing together mostly African scholars, the research underlines the key pros and cons of China and the Chinese involvement in the continent. Sabella Ogbobode Abidde is Professor of Political Science and a member of the graduate faculty at Alabama State University Montgomery. He is the editor of two Book Series: African Governance, Development, and Leadership Series; and the Africa-East Asia International Relations Series. He is the editor/coeditor, most recently, of China and Taiwan in Africa: The Struggle for Diplomatic Recognition and Hegemony; Africa-China-Taiwan Relations, 1949-2020; and Human Trafficking in Africa: New Paradigms, New Perspectives.
