Resumen
Descripción
As illustrated in Africa's Silk
Road: China and India's New Economic Frontier, the new
South-South economic relations present real opportunities-as
well as challenges-to African countries. They also highlight
the need for complementary reforms by China and India to
support more vigorous African development. In analyzing
Africa's intensifying relationships with China and
India, Africa's Silk Road examines the trends to date
and considers the implications of these developments for the
economic future of the African continent. The diagnosis
cautions that the opportunities engendered by China and
India's trade and investment with Africa will not
necessarily be converted into growth and poverty reduction
in the region. A critical finding of the study is that it is
not just the quantity of these trade and investment flows
that matters-it is also the quality of the overall
commercial relationships underlying as well as shaping these
flows. This paper contains the following headings:
connecting two continents; performance and patterns of
African-Asian trade and investment flows; challenges at the
border - Africa and Asia's trade and investment
policies; behind-the-border constraints on African-Asian
trade and investment flows; between-the-border factors in
African-Asian trade and investment; and investment-trade
linkages in African-Asian commerce - scale, integration, and
production networks.
