ABOUT THE BOOK
China’s emergence in Africa is the most significant development for the continent since at least the end of the Cold War. A fact which necessitates a more detailed and nuanced understanding of Chinese motivations in its African engagement in order to work effectively with China for African peace, security and development.
With Liberia, Darfur and South Sudan as case studies, Kuo comprehensively examines the “Chinese peace” and places it within the context of the liberal peace debate. He also traces and analyses the Chinese discourse of peace, from traditional Chinese political philosophy, through Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping to post-reform and the Xi Jinping era.
