Decentralizing Afro-Chinese Relations (in French, English and Spanish)

 The most recent edition of Revue Internationale des Etudes du Developpement is devoted to the topic "Relations afro-chinoises: decentrer l'analyse."

 The articles in this special issue offer a decentering of the approach to Afro-Chinese relations through an analysis of Africans taking an active role in order to assess to what extent the Chinese presence has responded or not to African requests, and how African actors have responded.  

The articles deal with China's role in Ghana's free zones, the role of executives in Chinese construction subsidiaries in Algeria, Chinese medical teams in Cameroon, the promotion of kung fu in Cameroon and Gabon, and testimonials of French-speaking African students in Chengdu.
