Thesis (Ph.D.)

Includes bibliographical references

This dissertation includes three essays that explore the determinants of China's financial and military assistance to Africa, and its consequences. The rapid development of economic and political relations and China's financing of massive projects in various African countries has led to critics claiming that China has become a "rogue" donor trying to secure unfair privileges in Africa's markets (Naim, 2009). Chinese leaders, on the other hand, label their approach a "win- win" situation. The first essay looks at the determinants of China's official assistance from a trade potentials approach. Using AidData's China's Official Finance Database (Strange et al., 2013), I have compared actual trade with predicted trade as a determinant of official finance policy. The results confirmed that China's economic motivations (in terms of predicted trade) play a substantial role as a determinant. As China's official finance policy has become more grant oriented, economic motivations have begun playing a larger role. What is more, China does a very poor job at avoiding corrupt countries.

520 $a The results are indicative of a strong donor interest in China's official finance policy regarding Africa. With regards to military assistance, China not only aims to increase sales of Chinese-made weapons to African countries, but also has tried to increase their influence over these countries' foreign policies. With regards to China's image in Africa, Chinese companies' aggressive profit seeking behaviors have brought blame to the Chinese government. The results have confirmed that as China's foreign assistance increases, people's attitudes about China become less favorable; this is likely due to Chinese companies' actions in Africa.
