Über dieses Buch

Explaining the determinants of China and India’s development cooperation in Africa cannot be achieved in simple terms. After collecting over 1000 development cooperation projects by China and India in Africa using AidData, this book applies the method of qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) to understand the motives behind their development cooperation. Mthembu posits that neither China nor India were solely motivated by one causal factor, whether strategic, economic or humanitarian interests or the size of their diaspora in Africa. China and India are driven by multiple and conjunctural factors in providing more development cooperation to some countries than others on the African continent. Only when some of these respective causal factors are combined is it evident that both countries disbursed high levels of development cooperation to some African countries.

Chapter 1. Introduction: The Changing Development Cooperation Landscape
Abstract
This chapter introduces the topic while outlining how research on the determinants of development cooperation has been undertaken within the social sciences, highlighting important gaps while showing ways in which the following book makes a valuable contribution to the existing literature. Given that research on the topic is relatively new, the first chapter provides much needed context and perspective on the state of research on the determinants of development cooperation and how some of the challenges may be overcome.

Chapter 2. Conceptual Framework and the Importance of Consistent Definitions
Abstract
This chapter underscores the importance of well-defined concepts in the social sciences and introduces two important terms that are vital to the research question and book as a whole. It firstly outlines what is meant by the concept of Southern powers and explains why the study prefers this term over the more common “emerging powers.”

Chapter 3. An Overview of China and India’s Development Cooperation in Africa
Abstract
This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of China and India’s development cooperation in Africa, adding important context to their relations with the continent. Indeed this chapter serves as a vivid reminder that despite being often referred to as new donors, their development cooperation is far from new and is in a way a continuation of old relations under a vastly different international system. Besides providing a historical overview, this chapter also introduces the basic characteristics of China and India’s development cooperation and the manner in which it is currently organised. It is thus not only about historical context, but also highlighting the basic infrastructure of their development cooperation while introducing the key players in both Southern powers when it comes to development cooperation.

Chapter 4. Theoretical Foundations of the Determinants of Development Cooperation
Abstract
This chapter gives a thorough introduction of the four explanatory variables under scrutiny and outlines the theoretical foundations of the determinants of development cooperation. It introduces the main theoretical traditions from which the causal conditions under examination throughout the book were identified. This chapter serves to highlight the important role of theory in identifying potential causal factors for the outcome of interest, while also elaborating the manner in which the four causal conditions are analysed in the book. Indeed it will be shown that the dominant theories of the determinants of development cooperation do not specify how certain variables actually interact to produce an outcome.

Chapter 5. Methodology and the Operationalisation of Variables
Abstract
This chapter introduces in a detailed manner the research methodology used for the analysis of the data on the disbursement of development cooperation from Southern powers in Africa. This chapter not only introduces qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) as the methodology used, but also outlines the data collection strategy that was followed and where the information on the different variables was actually sourced. The chapter thus opens the book to fellow researchers interested in the topic and eager to understand in a concise manner how the findings were reached. It operationalises the variables and makes the findings reached in the book transparent and replicable, while also discussing openly the assumptions made throughout.

Chapter 6. Explaining the Determinants of China and India’s Development Cooperation in Africa
Abstract
This chapter applies the method of qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) to analyse the data. It thus draws up raw data and truth tables for the determinants of development cooperation from China and India in Africa, before interpreting the findings with the application of Boolean algebra. This chapter thus specifies very clearly what the primary causes for the outcome of interest were throughout the period under examination.

Chapter 7. Conclusion and Opportunities for Further Research
Abstract
This chapter draws conclusions and highlights opportunities brought on by the research findings reached by the book. It also points to new research opportunities with the world having adopted the sustainable development goals (SDGs).
