The World Economy mini-symposium, co-edited by Development Centre economists, presents findings about the economic impact of China and India in Saharan African countries by Africa-based economists. ‘The Asian Drivers and Africa’ presents case studies on Angola, Ethiopia, Kenya, Senegal and South Africa. These papers form part of a broader Development Centre project which documents the economic, political and social impacts of the two Asian giants on sub-Saharan African countries.
