 With the ongoing crisis in Darfur
as its backdrop,
a recent workshop at UCLA offered a timely platform for China and Africa
scholars to explore the complex nature of China’s renewed engagement
in sub-Saharan Africa. The April 2007 "Rethinking Africa’s ‘China
Factor’:
Identifying Players, Strategies, and Practices" was organized by the
Globalization Research Center-Africa (GRCA) in collaboration with the
UCLA Center for
Chinese Studies
and IGCC. Link
to the workshop web page.
IGCC is actively seeking funding for the U.S.–China Dialogue on Africa,
a track two dialogue between the United States and China on Africa’s
economic and security issues, beginning with the crisis in Darfur.
Past Projects on Africa In 1994, Profs. Edmond Keller, Director of
the James S. Coleman African Studies Center (UCLA), and Donald Rothchild
(UC Davis) led an international
conference "The End of the Cold War and the New African Political
Order." The meeting focused on post-Cold War regional politics
in Africa and the changed role of the United States and Russia.
More
recently, as an extension of IGCC's program on water and food security
in the Middle East, IGCC commissioned Robert O. Collins, professor
emeritus of history at the University of California, Santa Barbara,
to examine water rights issues in the Nile Basin.
