Africa’s Silk Road: China and India’s New Economic Frontier
March 9th, 2007 - by 2point6billion.com
No better time for a credible and in-depth publication on China and India’s economic relationships with African countries. Released on February 1st this year, the book - by Harry Broadman - provides a strong outlook into the comparisons and similarities of China and India’s strategies in ‘going Africa’. A great thing about the book is that it gives empirical case studies based on first-hand investigative research and the author surveyed 450 firms, including Chinese and Indian companies (16 practicing in Africa), operating in four African countries. The book is the most un-biased piece I’ve seen out there and it gives refreshing perspectives on a triangular regional area that is all too often - and perhaps overly - criticized these days. What’s better, the book is available online for free at: http://siteresources.worldbank.org/AFRICAEXT/Resources/Africa_Silk_Road.pdf.
