Book review: India and China in Africa: A comparative perspective of the oil industry
Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The ever increasing rise of China economically and militarily, especially since the beginning of the 21st century has undoubtedly boosted its relative power capabilities. This is what Gideon Rose and his fellow neoclassical realists elucidate as a state’s political, economic and military or hard power capabilities.1 This, thus, gives the Asian giant a higher leverage over many of its competitors in the global power and economic politics, especially those regional rivals, including India which is regarded as China’s major regional and to some extent, global rival. India has also risen as an economic power and like China, is a member of BRICS and also categorized as an emerging economy. Indeed, while we have tomes of literature on China and its activities in Africa, little is known about that of India and more especially, how the two Asian rivals compete in the resource-rich African continent. Both states are involved in what has been termed as ‘the scramble for resources in Africa’ in the 21st century.’
