1 Introduction -- 2 State of Research - The Rise of China and the BRI -- 3 Perspective of Theory and Analysis -- 4 China's State-Civil Society Complex in the Structures of Global Order and Economy -- 5 The Material, Ideational, and Institutional Externalization of Sino-Capitalism in East Africa -- 6 The BRI as a Political Project in East Africa -- 7 Key Findings of the Paper -- 8 Conclusion and Discussion of Results.

This book examines the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in East Africa. The BRI is considered China's central geopolitical and geo-economic project in the era of President Xi Jinping. Through this work, the author aims to contribute to filling some research gaps, such as the lack of depth in studies of individual BRI projects and the underconsideration of processing narratives in participating countries. The guiding question is the extent to which the BRI is a political or hegemonic project of the CCP-directed state-civil society complex in East Africa. To answer these questions, databases of international organizations and policy documents are analyzed. In addition, the author conducts a qualitative content analysis of newspaper articles from local media houses in the countries of Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania to examine three infrastructure projects. The work illustrates that the BRI contributes to increasing connectivity in East Africa. At the same time, the compression of economic relations and the implementation of infrastructure projects in East Africa lead to numerous consequences and contour a hegemonic project. The Author Simon Züfle studied political science, history and international relations in Freiburg, Tübingen, Madrid, Moscow, Tehran and Beijing. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the research group "Doing Business in Africa" at the ESB Business School of Reutlingen University. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.
