Abstract:The papers in this volume were originally presented at the conference 'China-African civil society dialogue', in Nairobi on 21-22 April 2008. They provide insight into the diversity of views held by civil society activists from a variety of African countries on China's role on the continent. Part I discusses ongoing debates: African studies in China (Li Anshan), China in Africa (Sanusha Naidu); Matching China's activities with Africa's needs (Sanou Mbaye). Part II analyses the macroeconomic dimension of contemporary Sino-African relations (papers by Zeng Qiang, Nancy Dubosse, and Hong Yonghong). Part III comprises six country case studies focusing on different dimensions of China's engagement with Africa: Ethio-China relations (Gedion Gamora and K. Mathews); China's impact on Kenya's clothing industry (Paul Kamau); impact of Chinese imports on Nigerian traders (Edwin Ikhuoria); potential environmental impact of Chinese investment in the DRC (Claude Kabemba); disappearing forests in Mozambique (Daniel Ribeiro); China's advance in Angola (Elias Isaac).Part IV analyses China's growing role in peace and security on the African continent: He Wenping on Darfur, Desire Assogbavi on China's role in Africa's security, Francis Ikome on the role of the AU. Part V explores the possibilities for civil society engagement (papers by Xiao Yuhua, Antony Otieno Ong'ayo, and Zhi Yingbiao and Bai Jie). The concluding chapter emphasizes that advancing China-Africa civil society dialogue is significant for monitoring and shaping the trajectory of the Sino-African relationship. [ASC Leiden abstract]
