1. Economist debates: Africa and China
"This house believes that China's growing involvement in Africa is to
be welcomed."
http://www.economist.com/
The statements – opening, pro, and con – touch upon the key issues in
5 pages. Note that there is additional info – rebuttals, closing
arguments, etc – if you click on later days of the week. This is
optional (but still very interesting!).
2. OPTIONAL: French, Howard. "The Next Empire." The Atlantic. May 2010.
http://www.theatlantic.com/
This is a less academic treatment of the topic with interviews with
regular people, and it's about 15 pages.
3. OPTIONAL: Economy, Elizabeth C. “The Game Changer.” Foreign
Affairs. Nov/Dec2010.
There was some interest last time in additional readings, including
learning China’s perspective on its Africa policy. Attached is an
essay about the US’s China policy. While not principally about
Sino-African relations, it’s a good primer on China’s domestic
interests.
