Although power has been a core concept of IRT for a long time, the faces and mechanisms of power as it relates to Chinese foreign policy making has reinvigorated and changed the contours of that debate. With the rise of China and other powers across the global political arena comes a new visibility for different kinds of encounters between states, particularly between China and other Global South states. These encounters are made more visible to IR scholars now because of the increasing influence and impact that rising powers are making in the international system. This book shows foreign policy encounters between rising powers and Global South states do not necessarily exhibit the same logics, behaviors, or investment strategies of Euro-American hegemons. Instead, they have distinctive features that require new theoretical frameworks for their analysis. Shaping the Future of Power probes the type of power mechanisms that build, diffuse, and project China's power in Africa. It is necessary to take into account the processes of knowledge production, social capital formation, and skills transfers in Chinese foreign policy toward African states to fully understand China's power building mechanisms. These elements are crucial for the relational power framework to capture both the material aspects and ideational people-centered aspects to power. By examining China's investments in human resource development programs for Africa, the book examines a vital, yet undertheorized, aspect of China's foreign policy making"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Investments, Chinese $z Africa. 650 0 $a Manpower policy $z Africa. 650 0 $a Power (Social sciences) $z China. 651 0 $a China $x Foreign relations $z Africa. 651 0 $a Africa $x Foreign relations $z China. 651 0 $a China $x Foreign economic relations $z Africa. 651 0 $a Africa $x Foreign economic relations $z China. 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a International economic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976891 650 7 $a Investments, Chinese. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00978350 650 7 $a Manpower policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007897 650 7 $a Power (Social sciences) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074219 651 7 $a Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 776 08 $i Online version: $a Benabdallah, Lina. $t Shaping the future of power. $d Ann Arbor : University of Michigan Press, [2020] $z 9780472126897 $w (DLC) 2020004230 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032810.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8522077C8FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
