“…However, the United States is seen as the preferred development model in Figure 8, even if its lead is slight (Lekorwe et al 2016, 4–12). While the United States uses threats of aid cuts and democracy rhetoric in Africa, China realizes the need for durable infrastructural development and is ready to finance this.…”

“…Although the United States still leads on perception indexes, China is making a strong case among the youth. China is almost as popular as the United States in many African countries (Lekorwe et al 2016). While a negative image may come from the poor quality of Chinese products, investments in infrastructure and business development elucidate significant positive perceptions.…”

This article compares the United States’ and China's international efforts of responding to the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and considers how the global public is receiving both to project how such measures would likely shape the international leadership competition. How do the international efforts of the United States and China on COVID-19 affect their respective soft power? How does the global public perception of the United States' and China's COVID-19 efforts affect their competitive advantage for global leadership? Based on the theory of soft power, I use Europe and Africa as cases with global perception data from the Pew Research Center (2017–2020) to argue that China would likely win some admiration for its COVID-19 efforts. However, it is unlikely to substantially shape positive global public perception of China to gain a competitive edge over the United States. This argument is based on the narrative China presents in the pandemic, its diplomatic style, and the ideational attachment the U.S. style has established. I utilize a phenomenological approach with narrative analysis.

“…Emblematic of what scholars term South-South cooperation, China-Africa relations have also become a focal point for understanding a 'rising China'. Despite areas for concern, China-Africa relations seemingly enjoy considerable support across the African continent (Gadzala & Hanusch 2010;Hanush 2012;Lekorwe et al 2016;Maru 2019). To shed light on why this is the case, it is paramount to understand how the relationship works and specifically how a project such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is 'received' on the continent.…”

Iran as a 'Civilizational Crossroads' in the Belt and Road Geography Mohammadbagher Forough 13 Exploring the Political, Economic, and Social Implications of the Digital Silk Road into East Africa The Case of Ethiopia Sanne van der Lugt ContributorsThis book would not have been possible without the assistance and continuous efforts of numerous people. The LeidenAsiaCentre's manager, Lily Sprangers, has worked tirelessly to coordinate our editorial work, aided by our project manager, Jonas Lammertink, and they have the heartfelt gratitude of our entire team of researchers. Nicholas Olczak has done an excellent job copy-editing this book, with much of the work taking place at the eleventh hour, and we are deeply grateful for his assistance. Then there are our contributors, who have engaged in highly productive and collegial debate throughout the span of the project, and it has been a pleasure seeing them work together and create these insightful studies. Work on this project was made ever more difficult as the Coronavirus crisis unfolded, and I am very thankful to everyone involved for staying committed to the project during such unprecedented and difficult times. Substantial parts of our debates about the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), and about the relevance of actors and agency, took place outside of Leiden University. We would like to thank the EU Centre in Singapore, especially its director, Yeo Lay Hwee, for hosting a fruitful conference on BRI-related developments in January 2020. Our discussions at Nanyang Technological University very much shaped our thinking on this complex topic and now inform many aspects of this book.Finally, our gratitude goes to our editors at Amsterdam University Press for all their help and assistance along the way, especially to Saskia Gieling, who has been instrumental in bringing this book to press.The LeidenAsiaCentre is an academic institution. Its research is funded independently and is not subject to partisan influence.

“…En la Botsuana independiente, el kgotla se ha mantenido como un espacio para discutir asuntos de interés nacional y donde los políticos se comunican con los residentes de sus distritos. En las zonas rurales, mucha de la actividad de las comunidades sigue organizándose en torno al kgotla, ya que es el único lugar en que las personas pueden acceder a información, discutir con funcionarios e informarse de lo que sucede a nivel nacional (Lekorwe, 2009). Algunos investigadores consideran que la base de la tradición democrática de Botsuana puede encontrarse en el kgotla, ya que sienta un precedente importante de diálogo y participación cívica (Holm & Molutsi, 1992, p. 77).…”

Los diamantes son la columna vertebral de la transición de Botsuana de ser uno de los países más pobres en el mundo al momento de su independencia a su actual estatus de país con ingresos medianos altos. En un continente que se encuentra bajo la presión constante del fracaso económico, la pobreza y la inestabilidad política, Botsuana es considerado un ejemplo de buena gestión, impresionante crecimiento económico, principios democráticos y prácticas de gobierno ejemplares (Acemoglu, Johnson & Robinson, 2003).
