Abstract

China's role in Africa: is it really unilateral domination or is it awakened because of the equation of the situation and interests? Then, how are the character, developments, and forms of cooperation? To answer those questions, this chapter uses a concept of inter-regionalism, in which inter-regional cooperation has several objectives namely balancing, bandwagoning, institution building, rationalizing, agenda-setting, and stabilizing. The emerging collaboration gives China an opportunity to introduce a model of interregional cooperation based on its foreign relations. China introduces a mechanism of cooperation based on “Chinese characteristic” which seems different from the Western perspective. China and Africa's interregional cooperation has been developing not only from economic reasons but has also been influenced by international politics. It is an economic cooperation alternative for Africa and international model alternative from the Chinese perspective. The last is influenced by China's international relations behavior which is based on its character.
