Beyond Official Development Assistance

Meer over het boek

Focusing on China's agricultural engagement with Africa, the book identifies three distinct models of development cooperation: traditional agro-aid, innovative agro-aid, and agribusiness. It explores their historical origins and practical applications through fieldwork in Mozambique and South Africa, offering a qualitative evaluation of China's efforts. By highlighting 'implementation gaps' and comparing China's approach with traditional donors, the work advocates for a broader understanding of international development cooperation that embraces diverse forms beyond conventional assistance.
