It focuses on two dimensions in particular:peace
- The sources of Chinese engagement in security – ranging from burgeoning exposure of Chinese economic interests and unstable conditions, to the targeting of Chinese citizens by hostile and criminal groups – and how they have shaped Chinese policies in this sector.
- Case studies that illustrate China’s involvement in country-specific Africa security contexts, including the content of Chinese contributions and responses of African governments and civil society to this expanding role.
Finally, the book provides a critical assessment of the challenges posed by deepening Chinese-African cooperation in security matters.
