China and the EU in the Horn of Africa

The Netherlands Institute of International Relations (Clingendael) published in April 2018 a policy brief titled "China and the EU in the Horn of Africa" by Anca-Elena Ursu and Willem van den Berg, both at Clingendael.

The policy brief unpacks the dynamics of Chinese engagement with the Horn of Africa, with Ethiopia as a case study. It argues that although the EU and Chinese activities in the Horn of Africa often differ in ideological and political interests, there is significant complementarity in economic and security interests.
