“…On the question of the double standard they point out that the relationship of the West with Africa is much more exploitative than China's and that African industrialization had already been 'severely damaged' by Western imports following the impositions of the IMF-mediated neoliberal regime (Sautman and Hairong 2007, p. 77). Illuminating, detailed, and sober correctives have also been crafted by Bräutigam (2009Bräutigam ( , 2011, Mohan and Tan-Mullins (2009), and Hofman and Ho (2012), among others. Bräutigam's careful research on China's development assistance model has been more focused on correcting misinformation about the terms under which China provides such assistance, which she claims is 'widely misunderstood ' and unfairly judged (2011, p. 753).…”

“…While Mohan and Tan-Mullins (2009) Whether the Chinese hire local workers to work on projects also depends on how costly it is to get local labour and the amount of time the company has been operating on the continent. From a broader perspective however, the effect of investment from China on domestic jobs is contingent on the combination of a number of factors, inter alia, FDI: (i)…”

We survey about 110 recently published studies on Sino-African relations; put some structure on the documented issues before suggesting some solutions and strategies to the identified policy syndromes. The documented issues classified into eight main strands include, China:targeting nations with abundant natural resources; focusing on countries with bad governance; not hiring local workers; outbidding other countries by flouting environmental and social standards; importing workers that do not integrate into domestic society and living in extremely simple conditions; exhibiting low linkages between her operations and local businesses; exporting low quality products to Africa; and the emergence of China hindering Africa's development.

“…By contrast we see Chinese private transnational corporations (TNCs) entering under 'open' commercial contracts, where they lack any of the protection afforded by the tying of loans to investment. And finally there are the myriad small Chinese private firms that date back, in some cases, to the colonial period (Mohan and Tan-Mullins 2009). Each type of firm has different levels of engagement with local capital, the state, and society and we will explore these differences through our case studies.…”

“…While most observers accept that China has sent an increased number of workers to Africa in the past decade, a major problem is that data are speculative (see Mohan and Tan-Mullins 2009). To assess the impacts on Africa of this migration requires what Mung terms a 'triangular' perspective in which 'the Chinese diaspora does not only relate to China, but also interacts with the society where it has settled' (p. 105-6).…”

However, the specifi c ways in which this happens across different types and forms of development, and in different contexts, remains poorly understood. This collection provides a stateof-the-art review regarding what is currently known about the politics of inclusive development. Leading academics offer systematic reviews of how politics shapes development across multiple dimensions, including through growth, natural resource governance, poverty reduction, service delivery, social protection, justice systems, the empowerment of marginalised groups, and the role of both traditional and non-traditional donors. The volume not only provides a comprehensive update but also a ground-breaking range of new directions for thinking and acting around these issues. The book's originality thus derives not only from the wide scope of its case-study material, but also from the new conceptual approaches it offers for thinking about the politics of inclusive development, and the innovative and practical suggestions for donors, policy makers, and practitioners that fl ow from this. 1 The Politics of Inclusive DevelopmentInterrogating the Evidence Links to third party websites are provided by Oxford in good faith and for information only.
