Analysis of China's geopolitical influence in the African Horn

Bachelor thesis | Chinastudies (BA)
China's sphere of influence is growing and the African continent is a key player in this global shift. This thesis focusses on a relatively poor region of the continent and China's growing geopolitical influence in that region. It takes the Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway as a case study because it is a tangible and successful manifestation of China’s Africa policy. The research concludes that China's two major gains through such projects are diplomatic support from these countries and that China is able to gain regional control through individual countries.
