This book focuses on the increased cooperation between Angola and China; explores how relations with China have bolstered regime stability and boosted the international standing of the Angolan government; and investigates the extent to which collaboration serves their separate interests in the immediate and the longer term. It offers a rich look at the relations between the countries: examining some of the labor, infrastructure, and policy issues arising from Chinese involvement. From the perspectives of Angola s oil, construction, retail, and wholesale sectors, this discussion shows the need for better local control to tackle the shortcomings and foster the benefits of cultural, economic, and professional interchange.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarcus Power\u003c\/b\u003e is a reader in the department of geography at the University of Durham and the author of \u003ci\u003eChina\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e's Resource Diplomacy in Africa: Powering Development? \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eAna Cristina Alves\u003c\/b\u003e is a senior researcher with the Global Powers and Africa program at the South African Institute of African Affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 7.81 x 5.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 26, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52618808492339,"sku":"9780857491077","price":52.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/dFJldzR1NTZva0lrdHdvVERQN1YrZz09.webp?v=1761911845","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/china-angola-a-marriage-of-convenience-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
