Chine-Afrique: Le Dragon et l’Autruche

August 17, 2006

So I don’t know which is more ridiculous, the cover of this new book Chine-Afrique: Le Dragon et l’Autruche (China-Africa: The Dragon and the Ostrich), or the fact that it would cost me 40 € to buy the book and have it shipped to the U.S., or the fact that I can buy it direct from the publisher in PDF form for 17.85 €.

I posted a mention of this book to the FeiZhou-AsSiin list. When will there be translations in Chinese; other languages?

This is a forward looking book, strategically speaking.. Adama has shed a new light into the most critical geopolical dilemn the coming poltical class will have to deal with:
Is China with little regard to basic civil rights, a demographic heavy weight , a commodity ” gourmand” will be a partner in a way to help very society in Africa by providing funds and trade benefits or is China only interested on supplies of oil , raw materials to fuel its economic growth.
Adama contentions help shel some light. and we shall thank him.
Adama and its book are like the think tank we need, by the way he reminds of Fukuyama teasing essay” the end of history”
