China-Africas Economic Links:toward a New Generation of Center-Periphery Pattern
International development literature has been dominated by concurrent schools ofthought ranging from the neo-liberals market dogma to the Marxist dependencyinterpretation. Because dependency theorists (Gunder Frank, Wallerstein, Prebisch) explainthe economic development of a state in terms of external political,economic,and culturalinfluences on national development policies (Sunkel,1969), dependency theory assumesthat economic domination runs across north-south geoeconomic patterns. However, whatthe world is witnessing since the emergence of China as a global trade heavyweight is itsunusual position within the center-periphery framework. That is, particularly in itseconomic and trade relations with Africa, China does not fit the theoretical concept ofcenter country,nor does it any longer fit the standard periphery nation.
