Afrique et développement, Vol. 40 No 3 (2015): Afrique et développement: Numéro spécial sur Transformer les relations internationales pour un monde juste

Résumé

Le discours savant orthodoxe sur le thème des relations sino-africaines avait tendance à accentuer l’efficacité de l’alternative Sud-Sud pour le développement, principalement en tant que véhicule permettant d’atténuer le statut périphérique des pays en développement dans l’ordre mondial. La littérature a accusé les relations économiques Nord-Sud de favoriser le Nord. La plupart des pays africains, en quête de justice et d’équité dans les relations politiques et économiques internationales, ont commencé à « regarder à l’est », principalement vers la Chine. Nonobstant la solidarité longtemps exprimée par la Chine à l’égard de l’Afrique à travers les luttes de libération et sa contribution dans le continent à travers l’investissement étranger direct, le développement des infrastructures, le commerce et l’aide bilatérale, certains de ses récents engagements avec le continent ont poussé certains à soulever la question du néo-colonialisme par comparaison avec les relations Nord-Sud. Les nouvelles relations sino-africaines sont considérées par beaucoup comme principalement animées par la soif de la Chine de tirer meilleur parti des ressources naturelles de l’Afrique et par sa recherche de marchés internationaux pour ses manufactures, ainsi que les opportunités d’affaires pour ses multinationales. Cet article soutient que les nouvelles relations économiques sino-africaines, bien que toujours largement « gagnant-gagnant », pourraient bientôt devenir des relations « gagnant-perdant » en faveur de la Chine.
