From Non-Interference to Adaptative Pragmatism: China’s Security Policy in Africa

January 3, 2023 at 2:52 pm, No comments

Article by Mamoudou Gazibo and Abdou Rahim Lema in African Studies Quarterly

ABSTRACT

China’s growing focus on African peace and security has generated discussions on its longstanding foreign policy principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of African countries and most of that growing body of research have argued that China is doing away with its foreign policy principle. Drawing its conclusions from a careful analysis of China’s security engagement with African countries, this paper argues that, forced to deal with various African crises, China has been pragmatically adaptive. This adaptive pragmatism has allowed Beijing to get involved in Africa’s peace and security landscape without overtly compromising its traditional posture on non-interference.
