This title looks at the dramatic – and largely unknown – rise of China’s economic empire into Africa and how it will change the 21st century and impact America’s role in Africa. This is the dramatic – and largely unknown – story of the rise of China’s economic empire in Africa, and how it will transform geopolitics. China has now taken Britain’s place as Africa’s third largest business partner. Where others only see chaos, the Chinese see opportunities. With no colonial past and no political preconditions, China is bringing investment and needed infrastructure to a continent that has been largely ignored by Western companies or nations. Travelling from Beijing to Khartoum, Algiers to Brazzaville, the authors tell the story of China’s economic ventures in Africa. What they find is tantamount to a geopolitical earthquake: The possibility that China will help Africa direct its own fate and finally bring light to the so-called ‘dark continent’, making it a force to be reckoned with internationally.

Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet: The New Geopolitics of Energy Reviews
Surveying the energy-driven dynamic that is reconfiguring the international landscape, Michael Klare, the preeminent expert on resource geopolitics, forecasts a future of surprising new alliances and explosive danger. World leaders are now facing the stark recognition that all materials vital for the functioning of modern industrial societies (not just oil and natural gas but uranium, coal, copper, and others) are finite and being depleted at an ever-accelerating rate. As a result, governments rather than corporations are increasingly spearheading the pursuit of resources. In a radically altered world– where Russia is transformed from battered Cold War loser to arrogant broker of Eurasian energy, and the United States is forced to compete with the emerging “Chindia” juggernaut–the only route to survival on a shrinking planet, Klare shows, lies through international cooperation.
