Chinese Aid and African Development

Know about the book -

Chinese Aid and African Development is written by D. Bräutigam and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0230374301 (ISBN 10) and 9780230374300 (ISBN 13).

Since 1957, more than 45 African countries have received aid from China, yet until recently little has been known about the effectiveness or impact of this assistance. Bräutigam provides the first authoritative account of China's experience as an aid donor in rural Africa. In a detailed and highly readable analysis, the author draws on anthropology, economics, organization theory and political science to explain how China's domestic agenda shaped the design of its aid, and how domestic politics in African countries influenced its outcome.
