{"product_id":"china-angola-a-marriage-of-convenience-9780857491077","title":"China \u0026 Angola: A Marriage of Convenience?","description":"There has been an explosion of attention on China s interests and activities in Africa and on the wide spectrum of Chinese actors involved in countries across the continent, yet the terms and implications of the China Angola partnership remain unclear. This book focuses on the increased cooperation between Angola and China; explores how relations with China have bolstered regime stability and boosted the international standing of the Angolan government; and investigates the extent to which collaboration serves their separate interests in the immediate and the longer term. It offers a rich look at the relations between the countries: examining some of the labor, infrastructure, and policy issues arising from Chinese involvement. From the perspectives of Angola s oil, construction, retail, and wholesale sectors, this discussion shows the need for better local control to tackle the shortcomings and foster the benefits of cultural, economic, and professional interchange.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcus Power\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pambazuka Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780857491077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarcus Power\u003c\/b\u003e is a reader in the department of geography at the University of Durham and the author of \u003ci\u003eChina\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e's Resource Diplomacy in Africa: Powering Development? \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eAna Cristina Alves\u003c\/b\u003e is a senior researcher with the Global Powers and Africa program at the South African Institute of African Affairs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pambazuka Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40431474901107,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":47.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_d8677919-278e-464b-b69f-ea672873476a.jpg?v=1662905950","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/china-angola-a-marriage-of-convenience-9780857491077","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
