中非基础设施建设合作新特点

基础设施建设是中非经贸合作的重要内容之一，也是中非关系中的一大亮点。中非合作论坛设立以来，中非基础设施建设领域的合作进入了一个新的阶段：明确将基础设施建设列为中非合作的重点领域；合作方式更加灵活；更加强调互利互惠。中非在基础设施建设合作领域取得了举世瞩目的成绩：改善了非洲基础设施落后的状况，促进了非洲经济和社会的发展，提升了非洲的技术和管理水平，进一步促进了中非友好关系的发展。但这一领域的合作，既面临着难得的机遇叉面临诸多挑战。展望未来，我们应该坚持自己的模式，完善具体的做法，适度开展与第三方的合作。     

中非卫生安全合作60年：历程、成就与展望

卫生问题安全化是全球化时代社会变革的产物。以各类传染病、慢性非传染病为突出表现的卫生安全挑战，在非洲具有多样性、动态性、跨界性与复合性的特点。卫生安全问题损害了民众健康，不利于社会经济稳定与发展，削弱了非洲国家提供卫生公共产品的能力，反过来又引发新的卫生安全挑战。从1963年派遣第一支援非医疗队开始，中非卫生安全合作历经60年发展历程。其中，“非典”疫情显著提高了中国对卫生问题安全化的关注，并将其融入对非合作中；埃博拉疫情则是中非携手应对卫生安全挑战的一场“大考”;中非团结抗击新冠肺炎疫情深化了“中非卫生健康共同体”。中非卫生安全合作立足平等、秉持协商、致力发展，以中非合作论坛机制为指导，会议机制、项目机制共同发挥作用，聚焦非洲亟需、中方力所能及的领域，由此逐步形成了具有自身特色的中非卫生安全合作模式。双方在此领域的合作为保障非洲民众安全、促进非洲社会经济发展、化解非洲卫生安全难题做出了积极贡献。     

国际政治格局变化与中非关系:挑战与应对

进入新世纪以后,非洲经济快速发展,伴随这一进程而不断深化的南南合作成为推动国际格局演变的重要力量之一。世界各主要国家纷纷调整对非政策,不断拓展在非洲的利益并扩大自身的国际影响力,大国竞逐非洲更趋激烈。国际政治环境的新特点、中非发展状态的新变化以及大国对非战略的新调整给中非关系的发展带来了挑战,也蕴含着机遇。为此,中国应该妥善应对,谋划未来中国对非洲外交的战略与政策。     

中非合作论坛的发展脉落、成就与未来方向

在新世纪,中国和非洲各国迫切需要建立新的沟通平台,解决各自发展所面临的诸多问题和挑战。中非合作论坛应运而生,并在双方领导人推动下取得了举世瞩目的成就。为确保中非关系持久发展,中非合作论坛未来必须设法增强非洲的主动性,重视中非双边和多边层面合作,实现发展援助和投资的相互促进。     

非洲城市化特征与驱动力因素浅析

非洲城市化进程中,在社会、经济、历史和战争等因素的驱动下,非洲城市化发展呈现以下特点城市化起步晚、但发展迅速;大城市、特大城市集中效应凸显,城镇体系尚未形成;城市化进程快于现代化;城乡差别大、城市内部二元结构突出;城市化水平地区差异大。鉴于非洲城市化过程中出现的诸多严重城市问题,非洲国家则大都采取了控制大城市人口增长速度,有计划、有步骤地进行城镇综合开发和重点开发,注重基础设施建设,加强国家间发展合作,以推动非洲城市化健康发展。     

当前非洲形势与中非关系的回顾与思考

2002年是非洲动荡与调整、机遇与挑战并存的一年。非洲政局总体趋于平稳，但局部仍有动荡；经济持续发展，但难有根本改观；中非关系在原有基础上继续稳步前进，但也面临着许多问题和挑战。对当前非洲形势与中非关系进行系统回顾与思考，不仅有利于我们准确地认识当前非洲复杂的政治经济形势，也有助于我们从理论和实践相结合的高度上总结中非关系发展的经验及存在的问题。     

非洲经济发展现状及对中非经贸的影响

当前非洲经济已进入快速发展时期,经济发展前景良好,这为中非经贸合作的深入开展提供了良好的环境与物质基础,继而在推动中国经济的可持续发展方面发挥越来越大的作用。为使中非经贸合作朝着互利共赢的方向发展,中国政府和企业应立足长远,放眼未来,在纺织等行业给非洲国家留出一定的发展空间;在资源开发领域,力争让非洲人民受益;在农业领域,加大合作力度,推广多种经营模式,解决非洲粮食短缺问题。     

中非合作互利共赢的实证分析

随着近年来中非政治和经贸关系的快速发展，国际媒体、西方政界和学术界有关中非关系的报道和讨论急剧升温，有关中国在非洲搞所谓“新殖民主义”的恶意歪曲也在泛滥。事实上，旨在互利共赢的中非能源合作与西方掠夺式的开采有着本质不同，中国参与非洲油气资源的开发有助于非洲产油国实现石油投资和开采技术的多元化，以及非洲国家在石油工业决策中掌握更多的主动权；建立在取长补短、相互借鉴与合作基础之上的中非经贸关系在促进非洲国家经济发展，提高普通百姓的生活水平方面发挥了不可替代的作用；中国对非援助和贷款则帮助非洲国家建立了许多基础设施项目，并以其灵活和高效解决了许多非洲国家发展经济的燃眉之急。     

走向非洲 共同发展

去年9月,国务院发展研究中心亚非发展研究所和中国社科院西亚非洲研究所联合举办的"中国与非洲:挑战21世纪"国际研讨会,与会的20多位非洲国家驻华使节和中国近百名非洲问题专家学者一起就"中非合作对建立世界政治经济秩序的作用"、"全球化形势下中非经济贸易合作发展面临的挑战和机遇"等专题进行了深入的研讨。与会的专家学者普遍认为,当前政治多极化和经济全球化趋势不可阻挡,中国是世界上最大的发     

中非友好合作与共同发展

中国与非洲的友好交往历史悠久。新中国的成立开辟了中非关系的新纪元,中国为非洲国家的政治解放、经济发展和社会进步做出了力所能及的贡献,非洲国家也在许多方面给予了中国大力的支持。新世纪,中非之间的友好合作与共同发展面临新的机遇。随着中非合作论坛机制的逐渐建立,中国与非洲在各领域的友好合作呈现蓬勃发展势头。展望未来,中非友好关系将继续深入发展     

Challenges and Opportunities in Development Cooperation Between China and Traditional Donors in Africa

Cooperation between China and traditional donors in Africa is a part of new triangular mode of development bringing together three parties:traditional donors,emerging donors,and the beneficiary countries.Traditional donors and emerging donors act together in favor of and in cooperation with beneficiary countries.Triangular development cooperation is an extension of classical North-South and South-South cooperation.As yet,it does not feature prominently in the global development cooperation architecture.China’s emergence as a significant contributor of development aid to Africa,however,has now become a hot topic in China,Africa and the West,and questions are being raised about the way in which China and the traditional donors will engage with each other in Africa.This article argues that while China and the traditional donors face a number of challenges,there is potential for the two parties to implement further cooperation in Africa.     

China＇s Engagement in African Security Cooperation： Evolution and Prospects

Although China began to engage in military cooperation with Africa quite soon after the founding of the People＇s Republic in 1949, there are as yet few articles on Sino-African security cooperation. Now, with a much closer security relationship between China and Africa, there is a need for more study of this issue. This article gives some idea of the evolution of Chinese engagement in African security cooperation and examines new opportunities for, and challenges to, a more active Chinese engagement in Africa in this domain.     

全球公共卫生治理合作：以中非共建“健康丝路”为视角（英文）

The once-in-a-century health crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic has once again demonstrated the pressing need for global health governance cooperation and the particular significance of building a Health Silk Road. Guided by the concept of health for all, China and Africa should face squarely to challenges and work together in the process of problem-solving to build a healthy China and a healthy Africa.     

Radicalisation and violent extremism in West Africa: implications for African and international security

This article interrogates emerging trends and patterns in the process of radicalisation and violent extremism in West Africa and the implications for regional and international security regimes, practices and thinking. It argues that there are real and imagined challenges of radicalisation and violent extremism. The overarching view is that the emergence of intra- and extra-African preoccupation with violent extremism alone, rather than alongside seriously addressing its structural undercurrents related to preventing and interrupting the process of radicalisation, distorts the security realities and further exacerbates the security situation in Africa. Radicalisation and violent extremism further integrates West Africa into global security assemblages, yet the absence or non-incorporation of an indigenous African (civil society) perspective or counter-narrative about radicalisation and violent extremism uncritically fuses and conflates the strategic interests of major powers with the local realities in Africa. Moreover, there is a huge potential that national governments could exploit local, regional and international interests in counteracting terrorism for domestic political advantages, such as mis-characterisation of subsisting conflicts, regular political opposition and other local grievances as cases of terrorism, thereby risking a deterioration in security conditions.     

Understanding the needs and challenges of a Black community in South Africa

This article reports on a study conducted with an unemployed group of community members residing in the Gugulethu Township in South Africa. The study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of their needs and challenges, and what they thought could be done to assist and empower them so that they could improve their lives. Their basic human needs were violated during apartheid and as a consequence, they are still battling poverty today. We offer suggestions on how Black communities in South Africa could be supported and empowered in order to become employable and self-reliant.     

Faith-based HIV response in post-Soviet Eastern Europe: the case of Channels of Hope in Russia,Romania, and Armenia

ABSTRACT

Most of the data available on faith-based HIV response focus on Africa, which is the heart of the pandemic. This article investigates faith-based community-level HIV responses within Eastern Europe, by studying the implementation of World Vision International’s “Channels of Hope” faith-based HIV intervention. The intervention approach was developed in a high HIV-prevalence setting (South Africa) and then implemented across sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere – including three low HIV-prevalence Eastern European settings (Armenia, Romania, and Russia). Drawing from implementation and evaluation research, this article explores the nature, challenges, and potential of faith-based HIV response within low-prevalence, post-Soviet contexts.     

Models of engagement between the state and the faith sector in sub-Saharan Africa – a systematic review

ABSTRACT

In sub-Saharan Africa many individuals rely on non-state health providers, and engagement between state and non-state providers is increasingly common. Little analytic work has been done on the varied models of engagement, resulting in a lack of clarity about the promises and challenges of public–private engagement (PPE) for health. Despite their prevalence, PPEs often fail. Faith-based health providers (FBHPs) form a significant proportion of the non-state health sector in sub-Saharan Africa, and the number of partnerships with FBHPs is increasing. Building on a prior systematic review project that developed a typology of organisational models for PPE for health, this article reports on a secondary analysis, highlighting PPE initiatives with FBHPs.     

Towards a new aid paradigm: South Africa as African development partner

As the largest African economy and the leading African aid-provider, with plans to establish an aid agency, South Africa is often ranked among the developing world's ‘emerging donors’. However, the country's development cooperation commitments are smaller in scope, scale and ambition than the aid regimes of the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) or Gulf state donors. Given its limited resources and domestic socioeconomic challenges, South Africa prefers the role of ‘development partner’. In this role, South Africa's development cooperation in Africa has ranged from peacekeeping, electoral reform and post-conflict reconstruction to support for strengthening regional and continental institutions, implementing the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) and improving bilateral political and economic relations through dialogue and cooperation. This article seeks to determine whether Pretoria's development cooperation offers an alternative perspective to the aid policies and practices of the traditional and large rising donors. We conclude that South Africa does not fit neatly the ‘donor’ category of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD's) Development Assistance Committee (DAC) and neither is Pretoria's aid-spending typically ‘ODA’ (official development assistance). Instead, with its new aid agency, South Africa occupies a unique space in Africa's development cooperation landscape. With fewer aid resources, but a ‘comparative advantage’ in understanding Africa's security/governance/development nexus, South Africa can play an instrumental role in facilitating trilateral partnerships, especially in Southern Africa.     

21世纪东盟与非盟合作的必要性分析

21世纪非盟与东盟为彼此之间共同利益加强合作是全球一体化趋势的结果。分享发展理念和科学技术交流已成为双方合作的重要领域,也是保持社会经济持续发展的关键。因此,要优先考虑东盟国家和非盟之间的合作,两个区域组织的国家要充分利用彼此资源和人力资本,融入技术进步和产业发展中,利用知识创造的产品和服务,有效地解决各自发展中所面临的挑战,以进一步保持经济持续增长。此外,东盟中新加坡和马来西亚的发展经验证明,可通过采取有效的发展战略促进社会经济的持续增长。因此,这为面临类似的发展挑战的非洲所借鉴,可促进其经济的快速增长。     

China's expanding influence in Africa: projection,perception and prospects in Southern African countries

China's multi-faceted endeavour to expand its influence in Africa has attracted worldwide scholarly and media attention. This article examines the different moments of China's soft power endeavour, from projection through its state media to representation and lived experiences in South Africa and Zimbabwe, two African countries which receive a significant level of attention in China's policymaking. Through interdisciplinary methodologies such as content analysis, online questionnaires and in-depth interviews conducted in China, South Africa and Zimbabwe, the authors found that China's state-engineered soft power initiatives have resulted in partial success in the two countries. The conclusions indicate that China faces many challenges in fully accomplishing its intended goal. The findings provide new insight into China's political impact in Africa within the context of Beijing's growing influence on Africa's political and economic future.
