THE EU AND CHINA IN AFRICAN AUTHORITARIAN REGIM...

This open access book analyses the domestic politics of African dominant party regimes  most
notably African governments¿ survival strategies  to explain their variance of opinions and
responses towards the reforming policies of the EU. The author discredits the widespread
assumption that the growing presence of China in Africa has made the EU¿s task of supporting
governance reforms difficult  positing that the EU¿s good governance strategies resonate better
with the survival strategies of governments in some dominant party regimes more so than others
regardless of Chinese involvement. Hackenesch studies three African nations ¿ Angola  Ethiopia
and Rwanda ¿ which all began engaging with the EU on governance reforms in the early 2000s. She
argues that other factors generally identified in the literature  such as the EU good
governance strategies or economic dependence of the target country on the EU  have set
additional incentives for African governments to not engage on governance reforms.
