Abstract

Chapter 11 focuses on Africa’s relations with India, the “other” emerging Asian power, which has thus far escaped the close scrutiny, if not criticism, that the much larger, and expanding, Chinese footprint on the continent has attracted. The competitive dynamic between New Delhi and Beijing is an important fulcrum of India’s international relations in Africa. Not surprisingly, this has contributed to a tendency, by and large, to assess India’s presence on the continent either in a comparative framework with China or within the context of its membership of the BRICS bloc (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). This chapter, though, is primarily concerned with the dynamics of the bilateral relationship between Africa and India. It begins with a brief history of Africa-India relations, followed by an in-depth analysis of present-day economic ties. Next the chapter focuses on peace and security cooperation between India and Africa, before offering some concluding reflections.

The African focus derives from the shifting geography and expansion of peacekeeping from the Cold War period to the present, which has witnessed the continent play host to some of the UN’s largest and most complex missions, such as in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Darfur, South Sudan, the Central African Republic, and Mali.
