The Growing influence of China in Africa: Transatlantic Points of View

11 June 2007, Paris With the support of the GMF

China’s new relationship with Africa is built on access to natural resources, trade, investment, development assistance and more openly declared political relations. These relations are both an opportunity for Africa and a source of interrogations. Governance, transparency of aid mechanisms, the influx of immigrants and security ties are the new issues confronting China as well as Africa. Europe and the United States will have to enter into dialogue with China as they do with their African partners. Is it possible to determine an agenda for China-Africa relations that will serve for development and good governance?

With D. Shinn (GWU), C. Fomunyoh (National Democratic Institute) and F. Godement.

China and its Borders: What Power for China?
12 Jan. 2006, Paris. Asia Centre / CEPII. The economic rise of China brings about major consequences on its political in.uence across the region. What are China’s goals in the region? Is China willing to become the future leader in Asia? What drivers and what dynamics are at work? This roundtable allowed J.-P.Cabestan and F.Godement to address these questions, with Michel Fouquin (CEPII) acting as chairman.

Kuala Lumpur 2005. The First East Asia Summit[+]
The first East Asia Summit was held on December 14, 2005 in Kuala Lumpur. Does this summit place regional integration on a symbolical level or does it pave the way for a renewed stability in Asia? The answer is not clear. The economic links between the countries in the region contribute to the regionalisation process. In this sense, the setting up of common institutions would make sense. However, the race for energy resources and raw materials, along with historical conflicts, leadership rivalries and military concerns still hinder further cooperation. Caught between “the American order” that came out of the Cold War, the rise of China and the influence of Japan, Asian countries are engaged in endless alliances to secure their own positions while they hold numerous dialogues to ensure the stability of the region. Will this multitude of agreements and initiatives result in a new economic and political order in East Asia?

Kuala Lumpur 2005. The 1st East Asian Summit

12 Dec. 2005. This Roundtable was organised by Asia Centre, the FIP and Asia Press. F. Debié (FIP), opened the session, chaired by Richard Artz, Vice President of Asia Press.

The day before the Summit, Asia Centre research fellows (F. Godement, S. Boisseau, J-P. Cabestan and J-L. Racine) addressed regionalism and the rise of nationalisms in Asia in a conference held at FIP. On the topic of regionalism: ASEAN is shaken by China’s pressure and has to consolidate before moving towards any wider institutionalisation enlargement. The Summit is being anticipated with an even greater interest nowthat the Japan-China-Korea Summit due take place along the ASEAN+3 meeting, has been cancelled. While India remains in China’s footsteps as far as its relations with ASEAN are concerned (ALE or strategic partner), Japan comes up with very concrete proposals. ASEAN fears dissolution but real progress are made on technical matters, such as environmental issues, maritime security in the straits, energy security, pandemic risks, etc. Yet this regional structure is confronted to the nationalism of both Japan and China. While there are obvious synergies between these two countries, they are also fundamental rivals in the region. Nonetheless, a “Power oligopoly”,seems better for Asia than a monopoly.
