Amsterdam University Press published in 2021 a book containing a chapter titled "Ascertaining Agency: Africa and the Belt and Road Initiative" by Stacey Links, Leiden Asia Centre. To access, agree to terms.
The chapter explores Africa's [questionable in my view] centrality to the Belt and Road Initiative against the backdrop of intensifying China-Africa relations. The author makes a case for Africa as a fundamental cornerstone of understanding the Belt and Road Initiative in both its practical and more ideological facets.
