"A polished collection, with contributions from senior and emerging scholars, this new book provides an insightful survey of current trends in Chinese development finance across Africa and timely case studies of Chinas bilateral and multilateral engagement."

"The practices and policies of Chinese Development Aid and Africa have been evolving rapidly since the 21st century and their impacts on Africa requires thorough research. By collecting latest in-depth analyses from African, Chinese and European experts, Elling Tjønnelands edited book offers new insights into this intriguing topic. I highly recommend it."
Tang Xiaoyang, Professor of International Relations, Tsinghua University, China.
"This book is a refreshing, thoughtful, and pathbreaking appraisal of the complex contours that have shaped Chinas development aid in Africa. The rich contributions bring together diverse perspectives which impose analytical order on a subject that is little understood. It is, therefore, a timely and welcome contribution to better understanding Chinas development aid philosophy in Africa; and crucially, the policy, institutional, and normative dimensions which inform the books topical areas."
