SUMMARY:The Rise of China as a Global Power and Its Relations with Africa
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nThe rise of China as a global power has sparked considerable debate\, with some scholars suggesting it will lead to conflict. However\, he argues that the emerging world order should be seen as a transition between a “world re-order” and a “new world order”. The former implies that the current order is adapting to accommodate a rising power\, while the latter suggests that both existing and emerging powers will negotiate new terms of relationship\, leading to a redefined world order. This public seminar will examine China’s role in global governance\, hegemony\, and world order by exploring three critical periods in its rise: (a) the era of China’s hostility and rejection of the post-war world order\, (b) the era of acceptance and China’s integration into the world order\, and (c) the current period of leadership and contribution. Additionally\, this discussion will explore China-Africa relations\, arguing that\, beyond the rhetoric of “South-South cooperation” and solidarity\, China’s strategic policy towards Africa is focused on creating both dependence and interdependence\, ultimately aiming to align the continent with its global ambitions. \nBio.\n\n\n\n\nProf. Aaron Tesfaye is an Emeritus Professor in the Department of Political Science at William Paterson University in Wayne\, NJ.
