Explaining China's Positive Image in the Middle East and Africa
Sign posting to the room will be from the porters lodge of SEH
Join OxSID and the IR Soc at St Edmund Hall for what promises to be a deeply interesting talk on China and her positive image in Africa and the Middle East.
Perceptions of China differ across the world. As one of the fastest growing powers on earth, its influence is being felt more and more globally The Pew Research Centre reported in 2018 that only 38% of Americans had a favourable view of China. However, the picture is markedly different in a number of African and Middle Eastern countries, where perceptions of China are more often positive.
Joerg Friedrichs, Associate Professor of Politics at the Department of International Relations, will look to explain the reasons behind this, drawing on IR theories of realism, political economy and constructivism.
This talk should be of great interest to those studying politics (and particularly IR), economics, development, as well as those who have a more general interest in China or world affairs.
Entry to this talk will be FREE for all.
