Is China a rogue donor, as some media pundits suggest? Or is China helping the developing world pave a pathway out of poverty, as the Chinese claim? In the last few years, China's aid program has leapt out of the shadows. Media reports about huge aid packages, support for pariah regimes, regiments of Chinese labor, and the ruthless exploitation of workers and natural resources in some of the poorest countries in the world sparked fierce debates. These debates, however, took place with very few hard facts. China's tradition of secrecy about its aid fueled rumors and speculation, making it difficult to gauge the risks and opportunities provided by China's growing embrace. This well-timed book, by one of the world's leading experts, provides the first comprehensive account of China's aid and economic cooperation overseas. Deborah Brautigam tackles the myths and realities, explaining what the Chinese are doing, how they do it, how much aid they give, and how it all fits into their "going global" strategy. Drawing on three decades of experience in China and Africa, and hundreds of interviews in Africa, China, Europe and the US, Brautigam shines new light on a topic of great interest. China has ended poverty for hundreds of millions of its own citizens. Will Chinese engagement benefit Africa? Using hard data and a series of vivid stories ranging across agriculture, industry, natural resources, and governance, Brautigam's fascinating book provides an answer. It is essential reading for anyone concerned with China's rise, and what it might mean for the challenge of ending poverty in Africa.

用户评价

倾向性明显了点

官方数据资料欠缺，只好寻求西方学者的帮助。

对中国对外援助的历史梳理得很清楚，从红到专再到产业转移，态度相当正面

中国对非洲的援助模式有局限。很多项目中国人或资本退出之后无法持续。由于发展项目中做决策的是援助者和当地政府，忽视当地人，囿于发展模型。不论作者使用材料和叙述是否片面，从可持续发展的角度出发，这本书的确是提示了一些值得思考的东西。

大一的时候克老师提供的阅读材料，当初第一次接触非洲，信息量大且新鲜。没想到六年之后在DC还遇到了作者本人；如今她已然成为了中非问题的权威，开Seminar都能请到David Lampton这种级别的教授来主持。可惜Brautigam老师的课程要求太变态了让人望而却步。
