African Countries and the Global Scramble for China
In this new book on Africa-China relations, Ngonlardje Kabra Mbaidjol strongly engages in the heated debates on African cooperation with China, an increassingly rich and powerful partner. The current dominant view highlights the neo-colonial and exploitative nature of these relations with a denial of any positive results for African people. However, the growing China-Africa partnership took its roots at Bandung 1955 conference, to culminate with an overt competition between China and other nations over African resources. For many, "a new scramble for Africa" emerges. The author argues there is rather a "global scramble for China," a fierce battle to get the PRC's kind attention. Africa is right to engage the struggle to access China's development funding. Africa may wish to avoid being distracted by rival voices, but to endeavor doing its own homework and rehearse for the global competiton, in the only interest of African people. Mbaidjol's book unpacks Africa's preparedness and rehearsal strategy.
Sustainable Development, International Law, and a Turn to African Legal Cosmologies
A pioneering study that challenges the legal orthodoxy of sustainable development in international law from a non-Western perspective.
China in Africa
This book examines Sino-African relations and their impact on Africa. It argues that Africa’s relationship with China has had a profound impact on key sectors in Africa—economic and political development, the media, infrastructural development, foreign direct investments, loans, debt peonage, and international relations. The authors also analyze the imperialist and neo-colonialist implications of this relationship and discuss the degree to which the relationship is beneficial to Africa.
Cats of the Dawn
"A dramatic lesson for our generation of miscreants so disrespectful of the creation," Sangué said, amazed. Huge funerals for the death of a horse! The little boy was marked forever by the three-day mourning ceremony, as the tradition advised for demise male individuals. This showed how villagers had been attached to their pets, considered to be living with their own souls and treated as such. Cats of the Dawn narrates stories of real life from a little boy's eyes and mind. Sangué grew up, since then. He survived dangerous paths in his country combed by organized thugs who behave like cats of the dawn in search of new preys. Sangué is a surviving witness of the evolving situation in his h...
Ecouter les échos des pauvres en Afrique subsaharienne
« Le pauvre se lève avec le soleil », disent certains d'entre eux qui ont eu le courage de faire entendre leurs voix à l'auteur, au cours de ses multiples missions humanitaires. Venant des plus démunis, cette assertion veut tout simplement dire que la plus grande majorité de ces personnes ont toujours été prêtes, malgré les vicissitudes de la vie, à faire leur part d'effort pour gagner leur pain quotidien. Avec autant de passion que de volonté, Ngonlardjé Kabra Mbaidjol restitue au lecteur les réalités quotidiennes de la vie en Afrique subsaharienne, les tumultes que vivent les pauvres, en ville comme à la compagne, leurs déceptions et leurs espoirs. Dans cette Afrique des pauvres, le quotidien est souvent jalonné de terribles entorses aux droits humains, une pratique devenue normale aux yeux des victimes et des gouvernants. Mais ce livre suscite néanmoins un espoir : s'inspirer des enseignements reçus des victimes de la pauvreté pour que les objectifs de développement durable, dont on parle dans le monde entier, deviennent un véritable outil africain de développement adapté aux réalités de cette partie subsaharienne du continent.

The World in 2020 According to China
Where do we see China’s changes? What are the guiding principles behind these changes? Are China’s diplomatic policies and international strategies more reflective of its own national conditions or international trends? How will China balance its ideology with national interests? How does China see the current international order and its new position within the existing order? Besides answering these basic questions, this volume considers two other important issues: First, the future of China after its era of continuous high-speed growth; and second, (the all-important question in China’s foreign affairs) the future of Sino-US relations? 2013 was China’s first year under new leadership, and there is a consensus amongst researchers of China’s international affairs that the diplomatic practices China undertook to a great extent demonstrated new characteristics, perspectives, and requirements of the new leadership.
