Abstract: | Africa has always been potentially one of the richest continents in the world, but, due to a series of causes (colonization
and decolonization process, wars, dictatorships etc.) it has never reached its full potential. The fight against poverty has
been carried out by different institutions at the multilateral and bilateral level during the last 30 years, but the route
toward economic development seems to be still long for African countries. This paper will focus on the analysis of the new
approach to international cooperation introduced by the People’s Republic of China in order to exchange rights of exploitation
of Africa’s mining and natural resources with large amounts of capital without any conditionality. The case-study which will
be considered is the agreement concluded between the People’s Republic of China and the Democratic Republic of Congo. |
