520 |a This book provides insight into the economic partnerships between African governments and China offered by the Belt and Road Initiative. It examines the Belt and Road Initiative from a macro and microeconomic perspective to present a detailed understanding of the transformation of African development policies since the initiative began. Particular attention is given to the historical context behind the Belt and Road Initiative, the financing of infrastructure and public services in Africa, the spread of technology from China to Africa, China’s position within the global political order, African energy markets, and the development of special economic zones. This book grounds analysis of the Belt and Road Initiative within specific policies and case studies from Africa. It will be relevant to students, researchers and practitioners interested in development economics and the political economy. R. Mireille Manga Edimo is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Yaoundé II, Cameroon. Julien Rajaoson is a lecturer at the University of Franche Comté, France.
